Inside and Outside the Pass

Back in the 1990s, let's see how the farm brothers and sisters climbed to the top of their lives. My father, Zhang Shuyi, left Shanhaiguan all the way from Mingshui, Shandong, to Jing'an, Heilongjiang, where he took root and gave birth to six children. There are three that don't have a strong sense of existence, so I won't mention them.

Who is the love of my life? Zhang Jihong, in order to reduce the burden on his family, gave up the opportunity to go to high school and took the entrance examination of Jing'an County Normal School, a junior high school. After graduation, he worked as a Chinese teacher in an elementary school and was later transferred to the county government as a secretary. He and his first love Ye Ruying walked into the marriage hall hand in hand, loving her only for the rest of his life... Zhang Jilin, affected by family changes, dropped out of junior high school and worked as a nanny in the city. What she was born with was deficient and she made up for it later in life. With an unyielding drive, she succeeded in counterattacking. By chance, she joined an insurance company and fell in love with a small restaurant owner...
