The story revolves around the love entanglement between Wang Feifu and his wife Du Chunhuang, and takes a critical look at the love and marriage entanglements between ordinary men and women in modern times. Living in poverty in a dilapidated house and living in poverty for most of his life, a rural teacher guarded the countryside and read all about the suffering of the world and the absurdity of the grassroots. He has an upright character and is proud. He sees through the hypocrisy and chaos of power calculations and private use of public tools. He is unwilling to join in the trend. He stubbornly sticks to his heart and justice in the muddy world, and uses his mortal body to fight against the distorted rules around him.
In the chaotic secular world, the harsh life has smoothed away the edges of the world, but it cannot erase his sincerity. And hidden under the cold reality and sharp conflict is a gentle love that is forbearing and restrained, running in both directions. Living in a cramped and run-down life, facing an unfair world and difficult human hearts, love is the only glimmer of salvation in the barren years.
They met in a poor countryside and stayed together in dire straits. There is no grand confession, just silently staying together year after year. Everyone in the world pursues profit and power, but Wang Feifu is good at calculating and passing on pros and cons, fully demonstrating the utilitarian nature of human nature. The protagonist and his sweetheart warm and support each other in the absurd worldly torrent.
On one side is the real entanglement of the power game and the warmth and coldness of human relationships, on the other side is the pure love that is restrained and lingering. He withstood the pressure of the world and fought against the chaos at the grassroots level, but she accompanied him tenderly and never left him. He sticks to justice amidst the decaying worldly customs, develops deep feelings amidst the fragmentation of fireworks, and uses his ordinary body to write down the character and ultimate tenderness of the world.
