There Is a Letter in the Frozen Soil: a Letter That No One Dares to Accept

In 1976, 21-year-old educated youth Lin Yanqiu was trapped in Huaishu Bay. There was an old fire wound on her shoulder, but her father Lin Shoucheng was convicted of a warehouse fire and material theft. A "remittance order from a dead person" made her discover that there was a same network of relationships behind rations, work points, disaster relief cloths, recruitment quotas and her father's old case. She does not rely on powerful people, seduction or accidental turning over, but uses account books, receipts, testimonies and public procedures to make each perpetrator pay for what he has done. Earthquakes, floods, the return of educated youth to the city, and the college entrance examination in 1977 came one after another. She also grew from an avenger to a reporter who can establish rules and help more ordinary people speak out. Life has always been as absurd as a cold joke, but she finally cleared her father's name, was admitted to college, had a career and love, and finally got an answer to the "letter no one dared to accept".
