Eastern Sichuan in the 1980s: Guiying Builds the Rural Road (54 episodes)

In a mountain village in eastern Sichuan during the 1980s, Luo Guiying resists pressure from her husband's family to borrow money for pig farming. She faces hardships such as monopolized feed supplies, sick piglets, and impassable mountain roads that hinder sales. Delving into breeding techniques, she unites the villagers to form a livestock cooperative. To break the middlemen's extortion, she leads the way with money and labor, overcoming capital shortages, substandard building materials, and torrential rains washing out roadbeds to build a highway leading out of the mountains. By establishing an open and transparent bookkeeping system for purchases and sales, she leads the villagers along a new rural path toward common prosperity.
