When I woke up and opened my eyes, I was reborn into the 1980s.
In the previous life, the whole family worked hard all their lives, but a coal mine accident put the family in crisis and the future of the two brothers was ruined.
In this life, I want to make up for all my regrets.
When I silently rewrote the fate of the entire family——
Only then did I realize that the reality seemed a little different.
This is a story about waiting, growth and perseverance. The time span is from the late 1980s to the early 21st century. It tells the story of how a rural girl in Su Xing relied on a pen to stand firm in the tide of the times, and how a woman waited for a long time for someone who would never come home on time.
This is a story about ordinary people. There are no earth-shattering big shots, only little guys struggling out of the dirt. Some of them went the right way, some went astray, some came back, and some didn't. But no matter which path they took, they were living, loving, and waiting in their own way.
This is also a story about the times. From the late 1980s to the beginning of the new century, China experienced tremendous changes. The story of Su Xing and Shi Lei is a microcosm of countless ordinary families of that era - some were protecting their families and the country from afar, while others were holding up the eaves behind. No matter what, life is beautiful and full of hope.
