The Years Are Gentle, the Years Are Long

The wind in Haicheng, a small town in Liaohai City, blew through the machinery factory buildings at the port and also bypassed the rehearsal hall of the song and dance team of the Cultural Center. Chen Shouzheng, a senior technician at a machinery factory, lost his companion in middle age and lives alone with his two sons and a daughter; Wen Yunshu, the lead singer of the song and dance team, raises a son and a daughter alone, with tenacity hidden in his gentleness. Two broken families came together because of fate, and five children with very different personalities became a lively but stumbling family. The eldest daughter Chen Nian'an has been sensible and managed the family since she was a child, and has become the anchor of this reorganized family. From a conductor on a port ferry to a resident singer in a city karaoke bar, she grew up stubbornly in the tide of the times, guarding her family and a secret hidden deep in her heart about the life experience of her youngest son, Chen Xiangyang. The second son Chen Qinxue and his neighbor's childhood sweetheart Lin Xiaotang were childhood sweethearts, but due to the reorganization of their families, their fate passed by, leaving only young regrets. Chen Shouzheng's apprentice Zhou Lei pursued Chen Nian'an enthusiastically, but eventually ended up getting married to Wen Yunshu's daughter Wen Xiaoya, creating a ridiculous marriage. After thirty years of ups and downs, the streets and alleys of Haicheng have changed, the roar of the machinery factory remains the same, and the singing in the karaoke hall has changed again and again. This family has quarreled, quarreled, complained, and warmed up. In the trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and in the torrent of changing times, they have used blood and family ties to resolve all the twists and turns and barriers in fate. The years are long, the waves are calm, and the fireworks in the world are the most soothing to people's hearts. This family affair that spanned half a lifetime has finally turned into a gentle and long-lasting warmth over time.
