The blacksmith named Zhang Qingfa and his wife Lan Liangzhi have been married for twenty-seven years. They live in a small town of Jishan County in Yuncheng, north China's Shanxi Province, and have worked as blacksmiths since they married. They have raised two daughters and a son with the money earned by forging iron. Their son has graduated from Shanxi University and got a job in Taiyuan, capital city of Shanxi Province. Although it's more and more difficult for them to earn money as a blacksmith, they still love the traditional job and carry on forging every day. The ordinary but happy life is what they really want.
