In the late 70s a young girl, Jingqiu, falls in love with a boy nicknamed 'Old Third'. Their romance is cut short by fate; Old Third dies before there is an ending for them, happy or otherwise. Transcending the boundaries between fact and fiction, this is a simple story of love against the odds.
Jingqiu, an innocent young woman from a politically questionable family in the city, is selected as one of a small group of students to be sent to the countryside to work on a project that will further the Cultural Revolution. Clever, curious and eager, she tries to fit in with her hosts and the rural way of life, and it isn't appropriate for her to fall in love. But she does, with the son of a mighty army general. This beautiful, simple story of love against the odds will break your heart.
