In the ancient city of Anyang, Henan, during the 1970s and 1980s, the sister (Zhang Jingchu), brother (Feng Ling), and younger brother (Lv Yulai) of a five-person household embark on different life paths amidst a period of intense social transformation. The sister, in her early twenties, appears slender and reserved but possesses a strong-willed and stubborn heart; she is willing to sacrifice herself to achieve her dreams, yet reality is merciless, and after numerous setbacks, she learns to accept fate. The brother, around twenty-three or twenty-four, suffers from a mild brain ailment due to an illness in childhood, which causes his parents to care for him even more. After being introduced to a cunning, limping girl, he leads a life that he is quite satisfied with. The younger brother, at seventeen or eighteen, is sensitive and melancholic, with an overly rich inner world. After being driven out of the house by his father over a certain incident, he begins searching for a life of his own outside, but all he gains is a transformation that leaves him unrecognizable over time.
