I was initially skeptical about this drama—something didn’t quite click at first. It wasn’t until I asked whether it was worth watching and received a strong “yes” that I decided to continue. I’m glad I did.
In many ways, this story explores how political and social changes shape everyday life—especially when people find themselves in the middle of a revolution. No matter which side you lean toward, it is often the people who pay the highest price.
As a Colombian, I found myself relating deeply. While this story takes place in 1970s China, it reminded me of Colombia in the 1990s—a time marked by violence, transformation, and shifting mentalities that ultimately helped shape the nation.
The narrative is simple, yet layered with complexity. It highlights two types of individuals: those who were marginalized or punished because of their beliefs, and those who were overlooked due to a lack of resources and opportunity. At its core, it is a love story—one that captures determination, resilience, and the reality of surviving with very little.
Fei Ni stands out as an idealistic young woman fighting for a simple dream: to attend university. Despite having the qualifications, she is constantly pushed aside, showing how power and connections often determine opportunity.
Fang Mu Yang represents another reality—someone forced to live a life shaped by circumstances beyond his control, banned by association, yet still holding onto hope and optimism.
Then there is Fang Mu Jing, whose only “mistake” was existing in the middle of a political shift—reminding us how innocent lives are often caught in forces much larger than themselves.
One of the aspects I appreciated most about this drama was its historical backdrop. Whether entirely accurate or not, it sparked my curiosity. Every time a concept or event was mentioned, I found myself wanting to research it further. In that sense, the story does something powerful—it encourages viewers to learn, to question, and to understand history beyond what is shown on screen.
It’s a simple story built on everyday experiences, yet it leaves a lasting impact. It makes you pause, reflect, and want to learn more about the world behind it. And at its heart, it reminds me why I’m such a sucker for love—because even now, I still believe in finding something real and genuine.
I want to highlight two things. First, when everyone was waiting by the window for him — even the dog — it was so cute and heartwarming.
Second, the conversations about the younger sister really stood out. She’s a teenager, and that’s exactly how relationships tend to develop at that age. It felt very real and relatable, especially when the grandmother told her boyfriend that when you’re young, you tend to overreact to everything.

The importance of this episode is epic. First of all the guilt of an abused person is part of the process they go through, the lack of validation and accepting that what happened to them has nothing to do with something they did or lack off doing. The next process is believing they are not worth or they don’t deserve anything good happening to them. Finally. She has the courage to open up and she opened her heart when se told him he has always been there for her I mean simple words. And he giving her the space to tell him everything she wants to is just amazing. To top it off he saying not to excuse the people in her life and that she deserves everything made the whole show worth it
One of the simplest details makes this drama relevant is the time lapse design the train moving forward showing the changes and the count in days nice touch
