The "old third" (Sun Jianxin) in the film is a geological survey team member, a handsome man of that era, he is serious and responsible for his work, loyal to love, although he is a high-ranking cadre, he never shows off his family in front of Jingqiu.
During the "Cultural Revolution," the mother of the "third elder" was beaten into a bourgeoisie, and after jumping off a building to commit suicide, her face was broken, her father stood on the side, and the "third elder" suddenly changed from "red five categories" to "black five categories."
And the beautiful Wen jing and talented Jing Qiu, the family composition is landlord, the father is a rightist, in the provincial city outside the transformation, the school as a teacher mother also labor reform, Jing Qiu is considered to be "a good education of children."
