This drama employs a non-linear narrative to depict the protagonist Yu Kangmei's continuous challenges against fate from the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s, illustrating her journey from a naïve girl to a strong and mature woman over several decades. It tells the story of how her profound and generous love affects and saves others. Through Yu Kangmei's emotional entanglements with the family of Yang Sanhu, the commander of the military region, it deeply reveals the theme that, regardless of the changes in time and society, the true emotions between people are eternal. During a passionate era, Yu Kangmei, who was sent to work in Shaanxi, suffered a leg injury during a labor activity. With the help of her mother's former commander, Yang Sanhu, she was taken to the southern military hospital for treatment. Thanks to her extraordinary courage and the hospital's active care, Yu Kangmei was able to save her injured leg. After her recovery, her mother, Meng Mei, left with her son Yu Anchao, who was determined to stay in the military, while Yu Kangmei, eager to return to the youth working life in Shaanxi but misunderstood by her peers, ended up staying behind. The model youth representative she was in love with, He Jizhong, also grew distant in their relationship. Under the proactive arrangements of Yang Sanhu's wife, Zou Xinghua, Yu Kangmei donned a military uniform and became a nurse at the military hospital. While everyone assumed that Yu Kangmei was climbing the social ladder, she declined the temptations of attending university and refused Zou Xinghua's request for her to marry her son, Zhi Xi. A sudden change occurred when Zou Xinghua fell ill and could not recover, and during the disintegration of this once-prominent family, the compassionate Yu Kangmei married the frail Zhi Xi and took on the burdens of life. With her strength and love, she inspired every member of the family, struggling to maintain unity among them. However, fate's twists were not yet over. To afford her husband's ongoing diabetes medication, Yu Kangmei found herself at a loss. When her friend Zhang Xiaomao learned of her plight, he took it upon himself to obtain medicine from the military hospital. Unfortunately, the issue came to light. To clear her friend's name, Yu Kangmei bore the consequences alone, removing her beloved military uniform and bravely stepping into the tide of reform. Despite her husband Zhi Xi having betrayed her, she continued to support the elderly Yang Sanhu's life and spirit. At the same time, she took care of Zhi Xi's half-brother's illegitimate child. While working at a company, Yu Kangmei unexpectedly encountered her former lover, Xiao Canghua. After numerous hardships, she finally developed a late-blooming love while creating a new path for herself. The drama centers around the life journey of the protagonist Yu Kangmei, shaping the image of a kind, wise, respected, and lovable woman. She moves from the vast Loess Plateau to the picturesque southern regions, leaving behind passion and laughter, pain and tears along the way. Ultimately, she finds a blue sky resonating with the melodies of youth. This drama is intricately described, painting a grand and magnificent picture. It portrays the lives of individuals striving for success or succumbing to downfall in the surging tides of the era. Each character is vibrant and well-rounded, and every story segment is touching and poignant. It is an exceptional work of realism.
