In 2012, Huayang City. Many years later, Ma Chen , Wu Weiran , Wu Xinran and others who have developed around the world are meeting in Moon Bay in Lishui County. They have been glowing in their respective industries over the years and have contributed to China’s modernization. Tian Qingfeng , who still stayed in Moon Bay , took everyone to the original educated youth points that had become museums. I saw a photo of the year, and everyone fell into deep memories, and I couldn’t help but burst into tears. The scenes in the photo seem to be vivid, evoking their feelings for that hard time.

In 1978, Yuquan Commune, Lishui County, Moon Bay Brigade. Even in the spring season, the earth is still covered in silver. Because of the spring drought, the folks in the team had a long period of not eating enough. Even if it is a potato, Ma Qing and Liu Ying are detached from each other and are reluctant to eat. Fortunately, after learning about the situation in Moon Bay, a batch of relief food was transferred from the field. But when the villagers were looking forward to it, Tian Qingfeng came back with an empty tractor. There was no relief food that everyone expected. It turned out that a few days later, a United Nations food mission came to Lishui County.

The granary in the county had only some grain, so the relief food was left to the scene. In the face of the dissatisfaction of the people, the informed and the villagers are very dissatisfied, and intend to go to the county to recover food. The secretary of the cattle worried about the conflict, and he sat down at the entrance to the village to prevent them from leaving. Tian Qingfeng also advised on the side that the county would distribute food in a few days. The brigade will also organize militia groups to hunt and strive to distribute some meat to each household, which will calm down the inciting people. After the people left, Tian Qingfeng handed him the letter of admission to the university, which made him very excited.

However, unlike Ma Chen’s excitement, Wu Weiran’s mood is very low. Because his father is a capitalist, he is afraid to sign up for the college entrance examination. At this time, listening to the excitement of Ma Chen, Wu Weiran ran wildly to the river. In his view, Ma Chen and Wu Ying will soon leave, and they will continue to work in Moon Bay. This day makes him unable to see the slightest future. Even if Wu Ying is soothing and comforting, Wu Weiran is still very upset. Because the family is too poor, Laotian can only marry her daughter Tian Qiaomei early, in exchange for some bride price money for her brother Tian Qingfeng to marry.

In the evening, in order to celebrate their admission to the university, Ma Qing invited the educated youth comrades in the team to celebrate. With only one organ, everyone sings and reads poetry, and still feels satisfied under such difficult conditions. But at this moment, a jeep suddenly drove into the village. The comrades who came down from the Provincial Education Commission had to withdraw the college admission notice from Ma Chen. It turned out that Ma Chen’s university places were given to others for some reason. The horse dust that was just mad at the moment was mad because of this blue sky, and it was totally unacceptable. Wu Weiran also constantly asked the geologists why they should be deprived of the opportunity of life. Wu Ying’s leadership looked even more ugly, and he hurriedly handed out a notice from the house to them, and with the help of everyone, pulled the horse back into the house.

On the other hand, Tian Qingfeng, who was informed of the news, was preparing to comfort Ma Feng when he was dragged by his father, saying that he had married a wife. Tian Qingfeng returned home and found that his sister was gone, only to know how his wife came. He was very angry with his sister and accused his parents of not being able to sacrifice Tian Qiaomei for himself. However, no matter how he yelled and shouted, the Laotian couple who regarded the ancestors as everything was indifferent.
Laotian’s wife, Ling Xiao, who had been brought to her son, promised to marry Tian Qingfeng in order to repay her parents’ love, but she did not want to marry so early. Tian Qingfeng couldn’t stand her pleading, and quietly let her go in the middle of the night. Not only that, Tian Qingfeng also gave her sister’s wedding gift money to her to make a toll. Ling Xiao’s kindness to Tian Qingfeng was not enough to report, but he could only kneel on the ground and thank him.

At the same time, Wu Weiran and Ma Chen and Wu Ying were also caught in the confusion of the future because of the admission notice. Finally, after three discussions, they decided to take the train to the south to find a way out.
