Features: In the early days of the liberation of Beijing, the "Beijing National Studies College" that had been hidden in the corner for years was renamed the "Literary Research Society" and suddenly became lively. Various talents flocked to it—those who stayed in the country after liberation, those who returned from England, America, France, and Russia to embrace the light, writers, literary cadres from the liberation areas, and recent university graduates, among others. With different purposes and hidden motives, the various attitudes, situations, and of intellectuals were fully revealed. Yao Min is quiet, deep, intelligent, and talented; she is the daughter of a professor at a prestigious university, but due to family hardships, she can only work as a librarian. Xu Yancheng and Du Liling, a couple, appear peaceful on the surface, but they lack mutual understanding and affection. However, Xu Yancheng gradually develops feelings for Yao Min through the process of borrowing, returning, and organizing books. But soon, the "Three Struggle Campaign," also known as the "Cleansing Movement," began. As a result, everyone had to step out of their small circles and undergo public "cleansing," inevitably worrying about their futures in these turbulent times.
