nestled in the tranquil heartland of China's lesser-known cotton district, a group of young women and adolescent boys toiled under the guidance of technical experts, daily bearing the weight of sprayers filled with pesticides. Amidst this monotonous labor, the charismatic Ma Chengfu found himself captivated by the enchanting Mei Biyu, his heart yearning for her despite their unfulfilled union, as she was betrothed to the village chief's son.
Enter Li Zhi Gaohao, an ambitious and idealistic youth who rose above his peers, catching both Mei Biyu's attention and Ma Chengfu's admiration. With lofty visions of working alongside his beloved Mei Biyu in the factory, Li Zhi Gaohao unwittingly sowed seeds of discord between Ma Chengfu and Mei Biyu.
