In the turbulent 1980s, Qin Xianghe faces a home stripped bare and two young children who have learned to be sensible and timid. Tears streaming down his face, he vows to turn over a new leaf and shoulder his immense responsibilities. He refuses to blame fate, choosing instead to keep his feet firmly on the ground. Drawing on the experience, skills, diligence, and resilience he accumulated in his previous life, he rides a bicycle through the streets and alleys, striving to seize the opportunities of a rapidly changing era. He repays old debts, builds good relations with his neighbors, and protects his loved ones. Through the hard work of his own hands, he weathers every storm, giving his two precious children a warm, carefree life and leading his whole family toward a bright and prosperous future.
