Tong Zishan (Wan Siwei) is a young intellectual who was sent to a remote mountain village in the south of the Yangtze River for re-education. The sudden change in life made him disheartened and his character became dull and decadent. He almost lost his life during a heavy labor, but was fortunately rescued by the pure, beautiful and kind Lian Meizi. Afterwards, Tong Zishan was assigned to the more remote mountain village Pengjiawan Primary School as a substitute teacher, and Lian Meizi (He Qing) happened to cook at this school. The quiet and beautiful mountain village allowed Tong Zishan to relax his spirit. Lian Meizi, the brigade secretary Peng Yonggui and the simplicity of the villagers made him feel warm and regained his confidence in life. However, facing the love of Lian Meizi, he was at a loss, and he was afraid that he would implicate Lian Meizi.

However, Tongzishan's illness made this kind and innocent girl fall deeply in love with Tongzishan again. Tongzishan was also deeply moved by Lian Meizi's unswerving dedication to everything she did for him, and the love that was locked up deep in his heart surged out. The two young people fell in love quietly and happily...
