In the era of cultural revolution, a persecuted intellectual was sent into exile in the remote mountainous region. His girlfriend, who also suffered in the turmoil, could not handle the pressure and use the opportunity she had to fled back to urban life, where living standard was considerably higher.

It was the girlfriend's best friend, who never made big promises but had a strong will, stayed with the man and eventually married him and took care him. The story is told in the fashion of flashbacks when the original girlfriend read the letters from her best friend and ex-boyfriend.
