Twenty Years of Love

The story takes place in a city along the river in Northeast China in the late 1970s. The Red Star Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise. Jin Yong is recognized as a technical leader, production expert and advanced worker in the third workshop. His good friend Du Zhiming, apprentice Lin Yue, tool keeper Feng Xinliu, workshop clerk Kong Lingqin and other workers all work here together under the leadership of workshop director Xu Dianyuan. Jin Yong likes his female apprentice Lin Yue very much. Lin Yue's parents died, and he lived a difficult life with his younger sister Lin Xin and younger brother Lin Daqing. Therefore, Jin Yong cared for and cared for his apprentice meticulously in both work and life. But Lin Yue fell deeply in love with the handsome co-worker Du Zhiming. Since Zhiming had a very good personal relationship with Jin Yong and was Jin's father's apprentice, and he had a good relationship with his lover Feng Xinliu, Lin Yue could only keep this feeling in his heart. Feng Xinliu grew up in a family of intellectuals. She also loved Du Zhiming deeply and urged Zhiming to study hard and prepare to take the college entrance examination together. But Zhiming has no interest in learning and is always content with the status quo. As a result, the two gradually developed a gap, which created an opportunity for Lin Yue to pursue Du Zhiming. Coupled with the admiration and pursuit of Xinliu's old classmate Zhang Mingchao, the son of the director of the Municipal Materials Bureau and a demobilized soldier, friction continued to arise between the two and they eventually broke up.
