A man named Gatou is about to be released from prison.In his last moments in prison, he specifically asked the inmates in the cell to get along well with the mainland.His mother, Lu Niang, went to visit her son with complicated emotions.She overheard the name of Manzhu, a woman who had a deep relationship with her son.

Manzhu, the woman who once fell deeply in love with Gatou, still insisted on visiting him every month after Gatou was imprisoned.The mainland mother had mixed feelings in her heart. She knew her son's feelings for Manzhu, but she also knew that her son was about to face a long sentence and separation from Manzhu.

During the days of visiting the prison, the mainland mother intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Manzhu's current situation.She said to her son sincerely: “Even if Manzhu can't wait eight years, she can't blame others.”Gatou listened silently, and then told his mother: “If this is the result, please don't let me know.”

The mother-in-law had mixed feelings in her heart. She felt heartbroken over her son's fate and couldn't help crying.She knows that her son's heart is with Manzhu, but she also understands the cruelty of reality.

At this time, Manzhu in the distance received a letter from Piston.Piston, the brother who once enlisted in the army with Gatou, told Manzhu that he was selected to join the automobile company, fulfilling the dream that Gatou could not realize.He also sent the amulet he used during his sworn vows with the letter, hoping that Manzhu could keep it for him.

Although there is not much content in the Pistons' letter, every word is full of affection.Manzhu looked at the letter, and her already calm heart was stirred again.Piston's letter allowed Manzhu to recollect her past with Gatou, and the beauty and pain of the past resurfaced in front of her eyes.

Five years later, both Piston and Fu Chunsheng graduated from the recruit company. Fu Chunsheng used his skills to stay in the cooking class and became the squad leader, while Piston has now become the backbone of the automotive class.Their steadfast friendship remains unchanged.

Hongying was admitted to the police academy. Uncle Yu led all the villagers to congratulate her, and the Mainland family was extremely lively.Hongying, Weidong and Manzhu brought the good news to Dalu, but during the conversation, Dalu felt that the distance between him and Manzhu was getting farther and farther.The loss and helplessness in his heart was beyond words.

After graduating from nursing school, Manzhu was assigned to a hospital as an intern. Due to her busy work schedule, the number of visits to the mainland gradually decreased.Lu Lu could only watch her leaving in silence, his heart full of helplessness and sadness.

In the prison library, Dalu was helping Guard Zhai organize books when suddenly the earth shook and Haicheng was shaken.Officer Zhai was hit by a falling bookshelf.Dalu and Wanzi risked their lives to rescue but were unfortunately buried under rubble.Life and death are unpredictable.

The county hospital urgently organized a rescue team, and Manzhu volunteered to fight and was sent to the disaster area.When Piston received the news of the earthquake while driving, he turned around and rushed towards the disaster area.He received the task of transporting supplies, and when he drove past the ruins of the prison, the tragedy in front of him broke his heart.

The mainland mother anxiously followed the news from the disaster relief front line at home.She prayed in her heart that her son would return safely.In the distance, Manzhu and Piston are also working hard for the same goal: to rush to the disaster area as soon as possible and do their part for the rescue work.
