I'm afraid it's too late

The story took place in the 1990s. Li Chunsheng (played by Tang Zeng) is a miner. He worked hard without getting tired for a day and won the title of model worker issued by the country. At the celebration banquet, Li Chunsheng met a woman named Bai Jie (played by Xu Xiaosa). Bai Jie had just stepped out of university and entered society. She was filled with youthful energy 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 mere miner was not worthy of Bai Jie, a college student. Faced with tremendous pressure, Li Chunsheng chose to persevere. Later, Bai Jie's sister and brother-in-law died in an accident, and the Bai family encountered unprecedented turmoil and difficulties. At this time, Li Chunsheng stood up firmly and took care of the Bai family.
