Shen An, an aloof educated youth from Beijing, met Lin Xiaoxi, an enthusiastic broadcaster from the Northeastern villages, among the white mountains and black waters. Class rifts, family opposition, and confusion about the future lie ahead like a biting wind and snow. He fought against the whole world for her, and she fought hard to catch up with the times for him. From the starlight in the granary on a winter night to the lights of the resumption of the college entrance examination, from the rural fields to the urban podium, they spent ten years writing an epic of time in which love is stronger than gold. When spring returns to the earth, they not only win the blessings of their families, but also become the irreplaceable dawn in each other's lives.
