In the winter of 1969, by the cold and slim Yellow River banks. Poor farmer Zhao Da, 30 years old and still unmarried, was entrusted by his dying mother to the clan elder Zhao Tiantang. A girl from the neighboring village, Gou Dan, had a romantic relationship with Zhao Da; she came from a poor background, and her mother was seriously ill with no money for treatment. Out of kindness, Zhao Da sold his sheep to support them. Unexpectedly, the commune’s armed minister Mi Laichang intervened violently and took Gou Dan away. At a struggle meeting, Gou Dan was humiliated, and Zhao Da stood up and caused a scene, resulting in him getting beaten up. In despair, Gou Dan jumped into the surging Yellow River. After her death, Zhao Da’s friend Shuangxi sought suitors for him, but to no avail. To fulfill his mother’s last wish, Zhao Da, in a fit of anger, posted a “yin marriage notice,” but Mi Laichang harshly rebuked him. Enraged, Zhao Da braved the wind and snow to bury the girl’s remains in his ancestral grave and tearfully left his hometown. Time passed, winter turned to spring. Zhao Da returned to his hometown following the footsteps of spring. His neighbor, the beautiful and bold young girl Qingqing, was forced to marry a man more than ten years older due to a marriage exchange; Zhao Da sympathized with her misfortune, and Qingqing secretly fell in love with him. During a market day, Zhao Da discovered someone had quietly stuffed a pair of new cloth shoes into his backpack, along with a note encouraging him to get rid of his worries and embrace a new life, nurturing his parched heart. He first thought of Qingqing, but the shoes weren’t from her, leaving Zhao Da confused. Mi Laichang, feeling guilty about his past persecution of Zhao Da and causing Gou Dan’s death, visited several times to apologize and offered to introduce a match for Zhao Da, awakening his deep painful memories. Shuangxi also introduced him to a rural teacher, Shen Yulan. Just as they were about to confirm their engagement, Zhao Da learned that Yulan was actually the widow of his "deceased wife," which shocked him. The elders of the clan firmly opposed it, and Yulan’s mother-in-law vehemently obstructed the union. Yulan then revealed that the pair of cloth shoes and the note were gifts from her, putting Zhao Da in a dilemma. After the news spread, Qingqing, consumed by immense pain, presented Zhao Da with a pair of hand-made cloth shoes by the river, kneeling before him without getting up. Suddenly, Zhao Da's marriage plans faced new turbulence…
