Shen Qingyan, a young sound engineer who lost his sight in a car accident, returns with recording equipment to his hometown, which is soon to be permanently submerged under a reservoir. Before the water rushes in, he must capture the forty-year hammer strikes of the blacksmith's forge, the scraping planes of the woodshop, the wind rustling through the old scholar tree, and the laughter, tears, and shouts of all the villagers—sounds that hold the village's very soul. However, he encounters Fu Jinsheng, an early sound hunter disguised as a protector of intangible cultural heritage who has come to "harvest." Infiltrating the village three years earlier, Fu secretly recorded the traditional craft sounds of blacksmith Qiu Tieshou, carpenter Zhang Shouzhuo, bridal lament singer Wang Caifeng, and others, registering them under personal copyrights to sell at high prices to white noise companies.
