In China in the 1970s, the educated youth who went to the mountains and the countryside, the beautiful Xiangxi and the rugged bluestone road, the background of the era was like a slowly opening curtain, before everything started, it was destined to belong to the joy and sorrow of that era. . Then there are Luo Ming's alarm clock and Ma Jianling's violin, the moving rooster and Mozart will always miss Chairman Mao, and the story unfolds in a restless way.

There must be love in such a place, about youth, about life like backwater, about such an era. So the lively and cheerful little tailor soon entered their lives and brought them light. But this can't make up for the lack of spiritual life. The desire of intellectual youth for books is always indispensable in movies that reflect that era. Wang Xiaobo wrote in "The Joy of Thinking" a long time ago: The life of jumping in line is hard, not enough to eat, not acclimatized to the soil and water, many people get sick, but the biggest pain is not reading books. So the box of "forbidden books" became the greatest joy in their lives, which made the world imagined by the teenager and the little tailor suddenly open up. It makes the teenager feel that the whole world has changed, the sky, the stars, the sound, the light, and even the smell of the pigsty has changed. Every time I finish reading a book, it is like a baptism, a new life. "Love is the indulgence of reason, the enjoyment of the great mind, the solemn enjoyment. Barbarians have only emotions, while civilized people have thoughts in addition to emotions..." Every sentence can make those smart hearts boil, as a kind of struggle , but also an escape from the silent life.
