Ye Xiaowei: 23-39 years old, born in a small intellectual family, she is the only child in the family. She is a little delicate and sometimes arrogant, which most people despise. People are quiet and delicate with a smile on their faces. On the surface, they are in no hurry, but in their bones, they are extremely serious, principled and resigned. At first, I was a quality inspector in the city bicycle factory, and my work was stable and relaxed. In fact, this is not an easy job, and it is easy to offend people, but she just has her own way to go. Shortly after the marriage, she and the children in her belly were able to successfully get a visa for her husband and went to the United States with a common ideal. According to the agreement, her husband will solve the problem of children going abroad after going abroad, but there is no news. After giving birth to a child, I met with a major restructuring of state-owned enterprises. Ye Xiaowei quit his job and stayed at home for more than a year. Unable to find a satisfactory job, he was forced to switch to the bus system to make a living, first as a conductor, then as a bus driver to earn hundreds of dollars more, and then as a taxi driver for a while. Her personal fate is wrapped in the trend of the times. In the end, she chose to start a difficult business, starting from a small auto repair shop and eventually developing into the owner of a famous auto repair and beauty chain store in Beijing. After being laid off and divorced, her character became more and more fierce in order to support her family. You blush when you quarrel with others from the beginning, and you can scold the street when you open your mouth. A woman who was originally weak was forced by life to become a man's wife. The suffering here is really like a fish drinking water, and she knows it well. Luckily, she met He Zhengdong. It is this man who made her feel what true love is and let her find the true face of a woman again.

He Zhengdong: 28-45 years old, tough outside and soft inside, modest, courageous and able to undertake tasks. It can be thick when it is thick, and thin enough when it is thin. A real man is one who can help a woman. It turns out that he is the vice chairman of the trade union of the bus company and the candidate of the management echelon of the unit. Later, my career was tied down by my wife, so I had to resign and go to sea to become the manager of a driving school. At first, I just sympathized with Ye Xiaowei's situation, tried my best to help her and introduced her to someone. Later, his wife "forced" them to divorce, and his daughter returned to him. He and Ye Xiaowei are in the same boat, and gradually find themselves in love with her. He is a key figure in Ye Xiaowei's rebirth. At the same time, Ye Xiaowei also showed him that not all women are as lazy and admirable as his wife. It's not that he didn't consider the special situation of Ye Xiaowei's family, but for the sake of family, he accepted it. But when Ye Xiaowei's ex-husband Yue Jianming came home with another child, their relationship faced a painful choice.

Yue Jianming: 26-42 years old, handsome when he was young, personable, knowledgeable and romantic. Before going abroad, I worked as an assistant engineer in the research institute of bicycle factory. Like many people in the early 1990s, he paid a lot for a dream of going abroad, including his love, marriage, family and children with Ye Xiaowei. In the United States, he tasted the ups and downs, and was once proud, but in the end it was just a dream. With a chronic disease, he went back to the countryside in poverty and began to repair everything he had broken.

Yang Yue: 0- 15 years old, son of Ye Xiaowei and Yue Jianming, frail and sensitive since childhood. Because of the bad relationship between mother and grandmother, he was torn by "splint love" since he was a child. As he grew older, he became more and more sympathetic to his mother. Growing up, he always dreamed of protecting his mother. The appearance of He Zhengdong made up for the lack of fatherly love, and he gradually accepted the image of "father" in the spiritual sense. However, when his biological father suddenly parachuted into his life in a panic, his blood instinct made him reluctant to abandon Yue Jianming.

Aunt Yue: 52-68 years old. After the death of Yue Jianming's mother, widow and husband, she dragged her eldest son and daughter alone and suffered a lot. He used to be a bus conductor, retired and opened a shop in Hutongkou. Aunt Hong's own career is not great, but she has great ambitions for her son. Widows' families, raising their sons and attending famous universities, of course, regard them as treasures, and generally second-class girls don't look at them at all. I can't wait to marry a princess and be a horse. What happened to the little intellectuals in Ye Xiaowei? They are all small families in the eyes of Aunt Hong.

After her son went abroad, Aunt Hong felt more forward-looking, more ambitious, more superior, and even less Ye Xiaowei in her eyes. Ye Xiaowei is really angry with her mother-in-law. It's not a day or two since mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought wit. It was not until the son really abandoned his daughter-in-law, that the old lady saw with her own eyes that the daughter-in-law widow brought up the eldest child, and the hardships and difficulties were beyond the reach of a second-class woman. Only then did she agree with her daughter-in-law, and even stood in a camp and called her son to the board.

Yue Jianhua: 16 years old-32 years old, Yue Jianming's sister, Ye Xiaowei's sister-in-law, headstrong, hot-tempered, straightforward, and her selfishness is written on her face. In fact, she is kind-hearted and has a clear love and hate. Her personality has brought Ye Xiaowei a lot of trouble and anger, but you can't really be angry with her. At one time, Ye Xiaowei was tit for tat, and at another time, she was attacked. Later, when she married in Shanghai, the girls in Beijing Hutong and the boys in Shanghai Hutong ate the same pot, and they were as busy as a bee.

Ye Maolin: 49-65 years old, Ye Xiaowei's father, middle school geography teacher. Although he is not a great intellectual, he is lofty and dignified. He has all the characteristics of a small intellectual, living in a closet, worrying about the country and the people, patriotism and strong national feelings. His analysis and cognition of the world came from the enlightenment of the globe on his desk. He usually protects himself wisely, but he is unambiguous in right and wrong. Although his eyes are full of criticism and exclamation of the world, he has been criticized by his wife in his daily life all his life. His inner generosity almost turned into cowardice in his wife's habitual triviality, and his meaning was re-revealed until his sudden death.

Liu Lifen: 47-63 years old, Ye Xiaowei's mother, worked as a head nurse. Picky, serious, neat, desperate for life. Her mantra to her husband and daughter is: I have few days to live, and you can force me to death. It seems that she came into this world only to rule her husband. Looking at her usual attitude towards Ye Maolin, you will think that she never loved her husband at all. When her husband, who had always been in good health, died early, she felt that her world suddenly collapsed and her sadness broke out unparalleled. Moreover, many harsh and sharp words she said to her daughter became predictions, suggesting the fate of her daughter in this life.

Kang Cheng: 2 1 year-old, long-distance telephone office employee, simple, clean, optimistic and sometimes impulsive. Ye Xiaowei and her ex-husband met on an international phone call. Kang Cheng likes Ye Xiaowei very much and takes care of her, but nothing is too much. Ye Xiaowei regards him as his brother and tells him things he can't tell others. Kang Cheng always tries his best to make her happy. He is a little sunshine in Ye Xiaowei's gloomy life.

Xu Zhi: Xu Zhi is a senior three student in Ye Xiaowei High School and a member of the school basketball team. He is tall and strong. He is as masculine as every boy who loves sports. He has met Ye Xiaowei, but he only has an impression of her. But when I was in high school, all the girls were in love. No matter how proud Ye Xiaowei is, she can't help watching him play basketball through the window. So when they met again, Xu Zhi happened to witness Ye Xiaowei quarreling with others. Of course, Ye Xiaowei will feel embarrassed, and his heart will also have ripples in his change. So she didn't even think about it. But for Xu Zhi, Ye Xiaowei is no longer an impression. She is a very special woman. Then, Xu Zhi took her car every day until one day, he confessed to her.

Xu Zhi is now a teacher in a sports university. He didn't do well or badly. He is a bit thick, powerful, direct and real, and doesn't hate the situation in Ye Xiaowei. At that time, he was a good choice for Ye Xiaowei, not because of his deep feelings, but also full of sexual meanings. Xu Zhi's masculinity comes to me, so every time he stands in front of the ticket counter and looks at Ye Xiaowei, Ye Xiaowei will definitely blush. After only one year of marriage, Ye Xiaowei became a living widow, which is really not easy for a woman. So in the face of such a man, in the face of such temptation, Ye Xiaowei can brake for her husband in time, which also shows that her axis is not easy.

Su Hui: He Zhengdong's wife, a role player, missed her whole life. She plays whatever is popular in the world, and she has no idea of betraying her husband. She just had a good time, lived too selfish, and finally got what she deserved. He: 2- 17 years old, daughter of He Zhengdong, smart, perverse, taciturn, scheming and somewhat rebellious. Because he had no maternal love since childhood, He Zhengdong loved his daughter very much, and his feelings were abandoned several times because of his daughter's opposition.
