In the vast land of the Loess Plateau, time seems to have stood still in the spring of 1978. At that time, a veteran named Li Ming returned to the small village with hope for his hometown. However, fate arranged for him to be drawn into the strife of the Commune. In the context of this closed era, the innocent love between him and the cultural officer Lin Fang has been ruthlessly challenged.
The spring breeze blowing from the ravines of the Loess Plateau carries the breath of time and carries the expectation for the future. Li Ming, a veteran, walked through the village, his heart full of longing for his hometown, but he was also confused. His faded military uniform shimmered in the setting sun, and the red star seemed to be a farewell to the bygone years.
In the compound, the noise of the commune filled the air. For Li Ming, being transferred to work in the commune was already a good arrangement. He stood there, waiting for the instructions of the leader, reminiscing about those blood-boiling military years.
A crisp female voice interrupted his memory, and Li Ming looked up to see a girl with braids standing in front of him. Her name is Lin Fang, and she is the new cultural officer of the commune. This seemingly mundane encounter is destined to change the fate of the two.
Lin Fang is a cheerful and enthusiastic girl, and she quickly became acquainted with Li Ming. The two worked, ate and chatted together, as if they had forgotten the limitations of this closed society. However, the tricks of fate often come suddenly.
The gossip stabbed Li Ming and Lin Fang's hearts like sharp blades. In the small closed commune, their relationship became the focus of discussion. Li Ming felt the pressure, and he began to deliberately alienate Lin Fang, for fear that the rumors would hurt her, and even more afraid that he would lose his job because of it.
Lin Fang felt the change in Li Ming, she tried to talk to him, but she was rejected every time. She didn't understand why Li Ming had suddenly become so indifferent, and the confusion in her heart gradually turned into disappointment.
Li Ming's inner struggle was only understood by himself, he felt that he was not worthy of Lin Fang, and he was afraid of losing the barely sustained life in front of him. He decided to completely draw a line with Lin Fang, even though the love in his heart was still burning.
However, the tricks of fate did not stop. Lin Fang left the commune and left a letter for Li Ming to take care of. Li Ming held the letter, his heart was like a knife, and his hesitation and evasion led to all this.
In the hospital, Li Ming looked at Lin Fang lying on the hospital bed, tears welling up in his eyes. He wanted to tell her his heart, but it was too late. Lin Fang left quietly, leaving behind regrets and regrets.
Li Ming returned to the commune, which was no longer where he belonged. He quit his job and returned to his hometown. However, life doesn't stop there. He re-examines his life and is determined to make up for his mistakes with action.
Over the years, Li Ming has devoted himself to the construction and development of the village. His efforts brought prosperity and development to the village, and he became a role model for the villagers.
However, just when he thought that life would go on uneventfully, fate gave him another twist. Lin Fang's distant relatives brought her relics, which made Li Ming recall everything from the past.
Li Ming opened Lin Fang's diary and a letter, the yellowed paper carrying memories of the past and regrets of the future. Lin Fang's mind was finally read by him, but it was already too late.
Li Ming decided to continue his struggle and use his actions to influence more people and change more fate. He believes that as long as there is love in his heart, he can create his own happiness and beauty.
As the years passed, Li Ming became the leader of the village, and his deeds were widely praised. However, his greatest gain is his persistence and persistence in life and dreams.
Through his story, he hopes to inspire more people to bravely pursue their dreams and happiness. In this challenging and uncertain world, everyone may encounter setbacks and difficulties, but as long as there is love in the heart, they can overcome everything.
