The story takes place in the 1990s. Li Chunsheng (played by Tang Zeng) is a miner who works hard without a day of fatigue and is awarded the title of model worker by the state. At the celebration banquet, Li Chunsheng met a woman named Bai Jie (played by Xu Xiaosa). Bai Jie had just stepped out of the university and entered the society. She was full of youthful breath and youthful vitality, which deeply fascinated Li Chunsheng. However, the relationship between Li Chunsheng and Bai Jie was strongly opposed by Bai Jie's family. They felt that a miner was not worthy of Bai Jie, a college student. Faced with tremendous pressure, Li Chunsheng chose to persist. Later, Bai Jie's sister and brother-in-law died in an accident. The Bai family encountered unprecedented turmoil and difficulties. At this time, Li Chunsheng stood up firmly and took care of the Bai family.
