The story started from the trend of going abroad in the 1990s, and mainly describes the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan in early 2020 until the current fight against the epidemic in Shanghai. It takes the changes encountered by three middle-class families born in the 1970s and before 1975 as the main line, and describes the living conditions and mental journey of the Chinese people in the face of major disasters.
According to the unfolding order of historical events, the story gradually describes the tragic and joyful fate, psychological changes, multiple personalities and spiritual outlook of the generation of intellectuals born in the 1970s and before 1975 in the tide of the times.
The bell of a new era is ringing again. Young people who are 31 years younger than Du Jing have to bid farewell to the glorious long summer and enter the university life they long for in the bright autumn light. It was Du Jing's personal tragedy. Although it ruined Du Jing's life and made Du Jing, a good boy and good student since childhood, become plagued by all kinds of diseases when he grew up, and even his spirit was shattered and turned into a mess, it also allowed Du Jing to stay with his parents and spend the rest of his life. The overwhelming trend of going abroad in the long past made it a sin for the children of Jingchen not to go abroad. When the old people went out for a walk, they would ask each other, "Has your child gone out?" No one even helped me get on and off the school bus. From this point of view, Du Jing's lingering feelings of loss and melancholy, which should have been Du Jing's persistent pursuit, gave way to the search for warm family affection. Du Jing finally transcended herself, and as the flow of life swirled and surged, she transformed her personal feelings of despair in life into a painful handshake with life.
Purpose: The generation born in the 1970s and before 1975 are currently the pillars supporting modern China. Their life experiences and ideological changes are also a microcosm of the country's rapid development.
