In the spring of 1982, in Birch Valley Village in the Greater Khingan Mountains forest region, Han Yue, a lumberjack at the local forestry farm, returns to the year when his wife and daughter are still alive. In his previous life, his wife, Liu Lan, and daughter, Xiao Xue, died from illness and poverty, leaving him with his deepest regret. This time, he vows never to let them go hungry or suffer in the cold again. After separating from his family, he is left with nothing, while his parents-in-law and younger brother constantly make things difficult for him. Relying on his wilderness survival and hunting skills, Han Yue gradually builds a better life for his family.
