Qinghong (played by Gao Yuanyuan) was born in Guizhou, but in fact, her family moved here in the 1960s to support the construction of the Third Front [Expand All]
Qinghong (played by Gao Yuanyuan) was born in Guizhou, but in fact, her family moved here in the 1960s to support the construction of the Third Front from Shanghai. The parents were very eager to return to their homeland, but Qinghong had already regarded this place as her hometown. At the age of 19, she met Xiaogen (played by Li Bin), a young man from a local farming family. The pure first love between Qinghong and Xiaogen was stopped by their parents. The strict control from her father left Qinghong feeling extremely desperate. Qinghong's first love was thus filled with bitterness. She was full of resistance and rebellion against her family and went on a hunger strike to counter her father's tough attitude. But none of this could change my father's heart of stone. Not only that, my father had already decided to go back to Shanghai at all costs, and the day when the whole family would move was just around the corner. The separation of Qinghong and Xiaogen also became inevitable. They came to the back mountain. Facing Qinghong, who was full of worries and appeared cold, Xiaogen, with a mixture of love and hate, took her by his side. Xiao Gen was brutally punished, and this first love, in this era, also ruined Qing Hong's life.[Collapse]
