In Qingshi Town during the 1980s, Lu Chuan was forced to divide the family estate under the arrangements of his biased parents, carrying a debt of 600 yuan and receiving only a leaky stone house. Left with no other choice, he found a deep-mountain route map left by his ancestors, braving wind, snow, and dangers to enter the mountains to gather and harvest mountain goods, working steadily and earnestly to pay off his debts. His elder brother, Lu Yang, driven by greed for profit, stubbornly insisted on entering the mountains following a wrong route and ran into severe danger. Afterward, Lu Chuan fulfilled his filial duty of supporting and caring for his elders, but refused to bear the consequences of his older brother's mistakes, relying on his own hands and hard work to build and manage his own life.
