Ruth walked through her childhood with cries of "solemn whiplash" and "half a grapefruit." As the train to Metropolis rumbles forward, Ruth begins to grow like a "wild swan" migrating in spring. The strange first love brings her a better life, but the curse of "beggar bride" never disappears; Several emotional entanglements, accompanied by the emergence of passion again and again winding and quietly retreat, is the "naughty" of pleasure in pain, but also helpless "providence". Finally, the middle-aged Ruth finally returns to her birth place, returns to the beginning of all stories, and questions her innermost and most secret self - who do you think you are?
