Realism of the times, fate worries about love, failure to love, and the regrets of a small person in the torrent of the times.
Taking the trend of going south to work in the 1990s as the background of the times, it focuses on the background of rural youth leaving their hometowns and going to coastal cities to make a living. It writes about the youthful first love of rural boys and girls, who are separated by long distances, missing letters, arranged by their parents, urban and rural gaps, and secular prejudices. They stage one after another love that is defeated by time and family ties, and restore the truest regret and tragedy of rural love in the 1990s.
