In 1999, in Fenyang County, Shanxi Province, the cheerful and lively girl Shen Tao (played by Zhao Tao) was torn between the miner Liang Zi (played by Liang Jingdong) and the coal mine owner Zhang Jinsheng (played by Zhang Yi). A love triangle between a woman and two men cannot maintain a long-term balance. The friendship between Liangzi and Jinsheng broke down. When Tao 'er got married, some people chose to go far away. In 2014, due to long-term work in the coal mine, Liang Zi's health had reached an irreversible point. In his final days, he returned to his hometown with his wife and children. By this time, Shen Tao and Jin Sheng had already divorced. Jin Sheng moved to Le Chang to live in Shanghai with their child. In middle age, both of them were involuntarily standing on the boundary of parting and death. In 2025, Dao Le (played by Dong Zijian), who can only speak English, has a deep estrangement from his father, but becomes close friends with his Chinese teacher Mia (played by Zhang Ai Jia) despite the age gap. He longed to break free from his father's control and to obtain a kind of "freedom" that he didn't even know what it meant.[Collapse]
