In a 1985 northern Shanxi village, 18-year-old Lin Xiaotang lost her parents young and took on the burden of raising three siblings—farming, feeding pigs, scraping tuition fees, and fending off gossip. Her life was like a rough cloth soaked in bitterness until Zhou Mingyuan, a city-born engineer on a rural research trip, appeared. He was a "precious gem" from the city, yet insisted on carrying water and splitting firewood for her, arguing with neighbors who called her a "jinx, and saving industrial coupons for three months to buy her a sewing machine, saying, "I want to lighten your load." When Lin thought "raising the family" was her fate, Zhou held out warm malt candy and said, "I want to do it with you." From being too poor to cook to her siblings getting into college, from being criticized to being pampered as the "village's happiest wife," her 1980s life turned from "surviving" to "sweet living" because of one person's love.
