Sister as Torch: Holding the Family Together in the 1980s

In a small southern town in 1985, 18-year-old Lin Xiaoyun had just received her college entrance exam ticket when tragedy struck—her parents died in an accident. Left with a 15-year-old brother, a 12-year-old sister, and a 3-year-old little brother, relatives urged her to give the youngest up for adoption to save herself. But clutching her parents’ photo, she sobbed, “I’m the elder sister—I won’t let our home break.” She quit studying to work at a garment factory, woke up at dawn to make breakfast, hid her own exam form while saving her sister’s tuition; when her little brother got pneumonia, she ran through a rainstorm to find a doctor, nearly falling into a ditch. When her siblings waited for her with perfect test papers and hot congee, she realized: what she held wasn’t a torch, but the warmth of a family clinging together. And in the 1980s wind, the strongest thing wasn’t steel—it was an elder sister’s backbone.

Qingqiu Village had suffered drought for three years. The villagers forced 18-year-old Ruan to "marry the Dragon King" on Dragon Head Raising Day to pray for rain. Determined to die, she jumped into the dragon pool, only to fall into the arms of Shen Yuan, the silver-scaled Dragon King—who, contrary to rumors, had been sealed at the bottom of the pool for a thousand years and even lost his rain-making power. Ruan wanted to escape, but found that Shen Yuan's scales could cure the plague in the village; Shen Yuan wanted to drive her away, but his heart softened when she secretly planted peach blossoms for him. When the villagers came with hoes to smash the pool and steal the "dragon spirit," Ruan stood in front of Shen Yuan: "I married you, not some rain-making tool." And the dragon horns Shen Yuan hid in his sleeve were quietly dyed the color of the peach blossom in her hair.
