A girl named Jing Qiu from the city is sent to a village at the age of 16 where she meets her Mr. Right. He's the son of the village head whose family is superior over Jing's during the Cultural revolution. Jing's lover promises to wait for her until she grows up.

The film is adapted from the same name love story on the Internet which is already a hit.
Readers say they're greatly touched by the purity of Jing Qiu's love in a time when the majority seem to go after material things.
