After Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, in a coal mine living area in western Henan, Wan Chun and Jin Yun, who lived upstairs and downstairs, gave birth to girls in the same month, one named Gu Huiyin and the other Hao Yinjia.
What should I do if my parents-in-law don't help take care of the children? Live by yourself or with an elderly person? Kindergarten or preschool? As the children grow up, troubles and problems arise one after another. Jin Yun and Wanchun take care of each other and support each other, and they always have a negotiated neighborly relationship.
In the face of the wave of layoffs, joining the WTO, the successful bid for the Olympic Games, the merger of children's primary schools, the promotion of nine-year compulsory education with two exemptions and one supplement, the popularization of Internet computers, the arrival of the era of smartphone ringback tones, the rise of borrowing books and specialty classes, rebellious school violence in adolescence, shantytown renovation, and the trend of choosing and transferring middle schools and high schools... The gap between Hao Yinjia and Gu Huiyin has become wider and wider. Every choice makes their future destiny undergo earth-shaking changes.
