This book uses a lush apple tree at the entrance of an alley as a thread to weave together the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs, the efforts and growth of the coal miners living in the alley. A housewife who tragically lost her husband in a mining accident faces the hardships of life with optimism and strength; a lost teenager returns to the right path with the help of his close-knit neighbors; and a new bride who has just arrived in the city gradually integrates into the extended family.
