In the 1970s bluestone alley, cute little Tang was entrusted to Lin Zhao—the "tutor every kid fears" with black-rimmed glasses and hands behind his back to check lessons—because her parents went to work on the third-line construction. Tang always hid behind the coal pile crying for failing to recite Quotations from Chairman Mao, until the cold top student Gu Ye stepped up: "Ms. Lin, she helped me pick cinders yesterday and was late. I can tutor her." It turns out Lin couldn't finish junior high due to poverty, pouring his unfulfilled study dream into Tang; Gu, a motherless child, protected Tang like his own sister. When Lin took out the osmanthus candy he'd hidden for a week to comfort Tang, and when Gu used food stamps to buy peach cakes for her, three "imperfect" people formed the warmest home in the smoky alley. Gu's protective "No one hurts her" is thrilling, Lin's sigh "If only I had this chance back then" is touching, and Tang's cry "Ms. Lin loves sweets too!" is adorable—wrapped in the era's烟火气 (human warmth), every episode is both tear-jerking and sweet.
