At that time when urban youth were going down to the countryside to join the agricultural production team and receive re-education from the peasants, Zhang Haibin and his best friend Lin Tianliang left school, left the familiar Beijing hutongs, and were taken by two Dongfeng trucks to the countryside. Among the fifty-some Beijing knowledge youth who came to join the agricultural production team with Zhang Haibin, Zhou Yuxin was his classmate, but Zhang Haibin had never managed to say a word to Zhou Yuxin. He just watched from afar, watching Zhou Yuxin's beautiful and delicate figure, unable to leave. The passionate youth, the innocent love, the bitter memories, and the piercing pain—believe that those faded memories will take the audience back to that era of intense passion and bitter pain. As the Soviet song "The Hawthorn Tree" plays its melodic tune, one can experience a different kind of life feeling.
