Episode 1
In 1969, in Jichun City, Jiangliao Province, the slogan of going up the mountain and going to the countryside resounded throughout the country, and the residents of the whole city were also actively responding to the call of the state.
Zhou Zhigang had two sons and a daughter in his family, and he had a hard time returning from the army to visit his relatives, and he specially took a family portrait and distributed one to each of his children.
The eldest son, Zhou Bingyi, prepared to go to the countryside and decided to follow his father to the army for training. The second daughter, Zhou Rong, did not allow her eyebrows to be raised, and also wanted to go to the countryside to dedicate her youth, but she was opposed by the whole family.
Zhou Rong has a strong personality, pretending to give up the idea of going to the countryside, and waiting until her brother and father got on the train to the army did she secretly pack her bags and leave a letter, revealing in the letter that she had gone to Guizhou to pursue her ideals.
As soon as Zhou Rong left, one of her male classmates came to Zhou's house to explain the causes and consequences to Zhou's mother. It turned out that Zhou Rong met a pen pal when she was in junior high school, and the two exchanged letters and chatted very speculatively. Later, the pen pal attended the fraternity party and met Zhou Rong, and the two fell in love at first sight. The pen pal is called Feng Huacheng, and Zhou Rong went to Guizhou to go to Feng Huacheng's hometown.
Zhou Bingyi received a letter from her sister Zhou Rong in the army, zhou Rong ran away from home, her parents broke off relations with her, and she could only pour bitter water on her brother Zhou Bingyi.
Over the years, the Zhou family's youngest son, Zhou Bingkun (Lei Jiayin), grew up to be an adult, worked in a factory, and lived a step-by-step worker life. When Xiao Guoqing went to work, he told Zhou Bingkun (Lei Jiayin) that the police were preparing to shoot a prisoner named Tu Zhiqiang, and the factory director hoped to send fifteen employees to watch the shooting and give the employees an education lesson.
Tu Zhiqiang and Zhou Bingkun (Lei Jiayin) are small, and Zhou Bingkun (Lei Jiayin) is forced to go to the prison under the order of the factory director to watch the police detain Tu Ziqiang and the remaining death row inmates.
It was freezing cold, and the police allowed the people to wear hats for death row inmates, and the water took off his hat and put it on Tu Zhiqiang's head.
The police took the death row inmates to the riverside, and the people within a radius of ten miles rushed to see the liveliness, and when the gunshots rang out, the death row inmates were killed, and the timid Zhou Bingkun (Lei Jiayin) had weak legs, collapsed on the ground, and was carried away from the river by the workers.
After Zhou Bingkun (Lei Jiayin) returned home, with the help of neighbor Qiao Chunyan, the well water was pumped, and the water flow and Luo Shibin appeared not far away, and the two people watched Zhou Bingkun (Lei Jiayin) with a curious face. Shui Ziliu gradually recognized Qiao Chunyan, and he remembered that when he was with Qiangzi, he was seen by Qiao Chunyan.
