Behind the red iron gate of Xiangyang Community in the county, there are two old things that have been entangled for fifteen years: Chunlian's husband Aqiang is a "murderer", Li Mei's ex-husband died at the hands of Aqiang, and the two women who were labeled "widows" by fate should have been enemies, but in a book... From a broken diary and a rusty iron box, the hidden truth was uncovered - Aqiang's knife was aimed at the evil man who had harmed his wife and daughter; his derailment and embezzlement of public funds concealed his guilt for his original family, as well as his confused greed for a new life. When the stains on the threatening letters, the red pen annotations in the account books, and even an old diary that glowed with silver began to "speak" for the deceased, Chunlian took her daughter Xiao Min, Li Mei carried her unspoken grievances, and even the "murderer" Dongzi who was hired back then became a puzzle piece to uncover the truth. What they are looking for is never a perfect hero, but a complicated ordinary person - he is like a mountain when he protects his family, and like a child when he makes mistakes. He carries everything in the stupidest way, but makes the living people live in hatred and longing for half their lives. This is not a story about revenge, but a story about two widows with their own expectations, picking up the truth in the dust and planting hope in the cracks: hoping that the dead can rest in peace, hoping that the living can be relieved, and hoping that those waists bent by labels can finally stand upright in the sun - it turns out that the heaviest hope is never "good days", but the sincerity of "being seen" and the courage to "move forward".
