In the small world of the Provincial Construction Company Staff Compound, four completely different life trajectories are intertwined.
Chen Meng is a poor girl living next to a garbage dump. Her parents are the managers of the garbage dump in the compound. She is sensitive and has low self-esteem, but she grows up tenaciously and always loves life. Her laughter often echoed throughout the compound, although no one knew why she was happy.
Chen Cheng, who is two years older than Chen Meng, is the smartest among the children in the compound. He was extremely talented and skipped a grade in school at a young age. However, the rift in the family made him understand the cruelty of the adult world early: his father's cheating and his mother's departure pushed him towards a calm and calculated survival philosophy.
Li Xiaoqian, from a dual-income family, has lived surrounded by love since she was a child. She has a bold personality, is quick at work, and seems to never have any worries.
Wang Jianshe comes from a Kochi family and lives a prosperous life. Both his parents are busy people. He likes to read, is gentle, quiet and approachable.
The days in the compound were ordinary, but the four children became familiar with each other by chance.
From innocence to maturity, from togetherness to separation, under the baptism of time and growth, four children who seemed to be completely different from each other slowly approached, but one day they faced their destined separation.
