In 1988, Chen Zhiyuan, who once failed to cherish his family and wasted his youth, returns to the age of eighteen. Faced with his family's disappointment and the hardships of life, he resolves to turn over a new leaf. He begins by keeping his promises and caring for those in need, determined to regain their trust through his actions. With a keen eye for business and a strong work ethic, Chen Zhiyuan starts by purchasing freshwater catches and trading in mountain products, gradually opening up markets in the county town and establishing standardized purchasing channels that encourage fellow villagers to participate in production and business. As his enterprise grows, he remains committed to honest dealings, product quality, and the responsible use of resources. He further explores aquaculture and the processing of mountain products, transforming the village's natural resources into a driving force for development.
