Li Hongmei, an intellectual youth who has been in the countryside for three years, fell in love with He Erbao, a local youth, during the days when the door was closed due to heavy snow.

This is about Li Hongmei's first love, and it is also a love that she changed her fate, and since then, a new era has begun in her life.

Li Hongmei grew up in a city in the north, and in the seventies of the twentieth century, Li Hongmei ended her nostalgic student days in that dark city. When she was in school, she almost thought about her future destiny. After graduation, she will, like most of her classmates, go to the mountains and go to the countryside, which is the common fate of their generation. There are also a few lucky people who go directly from school to join the army or stay in the city, take over their father's or mother's class, and become a worker.

She knew that she would not be so lucky, her parents were just ordinary workers in the general factory, and there were a lot of brothers and sisters in the family, and her mother retired from the woolen mill early in order to let her second sister take over. The eldest brother has been in the queue for a few years, and he has long been impatient in the countryside, and has written letters again and again urging his father to retire, and only when his father retires can he smoothly return to this black city from the countryside to take over his father's class. The eldest sister cut the queue for the longest time, belonging to the group that people often said later, and she was inserted into Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, all of a sudden. The eldest sister's heart was the reddest, not only went to the holy land of Yan'an, but also soon married a local young man and gave birth to a son. The eldest sister completely and thoroughly responded to the call of the old man and took root and blossomed in the holy land. In the process of taking root and flowering, the eldest sister not only joined the party, but also became the female captain of the production team, known as the female iron man.

Father and mother were very proud of their daughter for a while. Every time the eldest brother wrote a letter from the countryside to force his father to retire, his father would not retreat, and he would take the trouble to tell the eldest brother the glorious example of the eldest sister in the reply. Every time the eldest brother writes to him, his ideological realm is not very high, and he talks about suffering in the countryside, he says that he can't stand it anymore, and threatens his father again and again, saying that he wants to be a deserter for a while, and he will never go back when he returns to the city, and then he says that he wants to commit suicide. At this time, Li Hongmei graduated from high school, and in the autumn of the year when she was not yet 20 years old, in the name of an intellectual youth, she settled in an ordinary village in the northern countryside.

Li Hongmei's Zhiqing Point is very ordinary, in a more conspicuous position at the end of the village, there is a house built of adobe, and on the gable wall is written in white lime a line of large characters that were very popular at that time: Vast world, great achievements. This was the most common of the well-known youth spots at that time. She is also the most ordinary female intellectuals among the thousands of intellectual youths who have gone to the countryside.

However, in Li Hongmei's three years of obscurity, in that winter when the snow closed the door, her fate began to change quietly.
