Our 1980s

Plot Introduction: As time goes by, the memories of the last century become increasingly clear in our minds. During that time, in the city, one could smell the fresh grass scent wafting from the fields. Girls dressed in white blouses and red skirts walked on the cement paths of the factory, their plastic sandals tapping out a light rhythm. A group of young workers would come rushing along, ringing their bicycle bells like hailstones falling to the ground - back then, the hailstones were all transparent.

A female university student named Man Xiaoxing from a cadre family was assigned to work as a Youth League cadre at Tianhai Chemical Plant after graduation. The notorious troublemaker Duan Yugang took a fancy to Man Xiaoxing. This energetic young worker with a rebellious nature boasted that he would make Man Xiaoxing his girlfriend within a week. On the other hand, Man Xiaoxing learned about this leader among the young workers' tumultuous past and decided to reform and help Duan Yugang. Thus began the intense rivalry between these two young people with vastly different family backgrounds and life experiences.

Ding Huiru, nicknamed "Little Widow," had been secretly in love with Duan Yugang for a long time. Her first love three years ago left her with the trauma of an unplanned pregnancy and her lover's suicide. It was Duan Yugang who had always protected her like a sister. Man Xiaoxing's arrival made Ding Huiru feel panic because she gradually realized that Duan Yugang had genuinely fallen for Man Xiaoxing.

Wen An, who graduated from technical school and was nicknamed "Fragile," had always fantasized about being able to save the fallen Ding Huiru just like in the novels he read, helping her start a new life. However, this thought also made Wen An unable to face Duan Yugang, whom he regarded as his elder brother, because he knew that Ding Huiru considered herself Duan Yugang's girlfriend.

Qin Guangming, known as the "Second Master" and Duan Yugang's sworn enemy, was the deputy director of the workshop. He was not content with just being Man Xiaoxing's confidant and elder brother. By pursuing Man Xiaoxing, he became a welcome guest in the home of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

It was in this naive and simple era that these young people began a struggle between confusion and growth, entangled in love and hatred.
