In the early 1980s, the Chinese people gradually recovered from the disaster of ten years of turmoil and began to look forward to a new life full of hope and happiness. In an alley in Beijing, there lived an ordinary family. The outspoken mother Liu (played by Han Ying) raised her two daughters with great difficulty. The eldest daughter Huifang (played by Zhang Kaili) was kind and filial. She fell in love with Wang Husheng (played by Sun Song), who came from an intellectual family in the same factory, so she married him despite her mother's opposition. Life after marriage was bumpy. Different family and cultural backgrounds made the couple's relationship full of grudges. Huifang adopted an abandoned baby and named her Xiaofang. Song Dacheng, who loved her in the same factory, helped the Liu family take care of everything. Although the life of an ordinary person is full of hardships and tests, Liu Huifang's experience makes us believe that good people will have a peaceful life.
