"Locust Tree Alley" is a realistic urban emotional novel that tells the love story of bartender Chen Mo and Su Wanqing, vice president of Su Group, across class and through hardships.
Chen Mo, a poor boy who grew up in Huaishu Lane, is mean-mouthed, soft-hearted, and loyal. He guards the old house and a small bar left by his grandmother. Su Wanqing, the cold and aloof sister, the daughter of the Su Group, came to Huaishu Lane because of a project. People from two worlds met unexpectedly late at night because they were driving for a car. From disliking each other to falling in love together, they made a lifelong promise under an old locust tree.
However, class gaps, Su's father's opposition, and realistic pressures followed one after another. Su Jianguo used wealth and power to force him, and Mr. Qian set up a trap. Chen Mo's bar was closed and his business collapsed. The two were forced to break up. Su Wanqing married into a wealthy family but suffered domestic violence. Chen Mo recovered after sinking and started to make a comeback from setting up a stall in the night market.
Divorced and reunited, old love rekindles, but this time they don't let go. From nothing to the pinnacle of career, from a world of two to having children, they have been together through thick and thin for fifty years, and have stayed together in their golden wedding years until they grow old.
Liu's brotherly loyalty, Zhou Xiaoman's infatuated waiting, Lao Zheng's mentor and friend, and Lin Xiaoxi's youthful regrets are intertwined into a life picture of fireworks in the city. The old locust tree in Locust Tree Lane has witnessed the joys and sorrows of love, hate and love of a generation, and has also witnessed the simplest truth - if you wish to win the heart of another person, we will never be apart forever.
