share time: 2026-07-23 06:01:27

In the 1980s, Lin Xiao, a female worker at a state-owned enterprise, fell into hardship after family changes. Her parents who favored sons over daughters treated her as a burden, and relatives kicked her when she was down. She had to rent a small attic in the old town, enduring cold stares and sneers. Then Gu Jianjun, a neighbor just back from demobilization, showed up. This reticent man guarded her in a clumsy yet warm way: helping her get scarce food stamps, fighting for a job at the street repair station, and standing up for her when she was in trouble. From distant tentativeness to mutual support, they turned ordinary days into peaceful years in the era’s hustle and bustle, filling the cold years with warmth.
