The main character, Sun Fugui, was born in the late 1960s in a mountain village in the Wumeng Mountains in northern Yunnan, where the Sun family migrated from Nanjing and lived for hundreds of years. In the remote and harsh environment, survival is a miracle. Poverty, ignorance and selfishness are the destiny of most of the mountain people here, but Sun Fugui is a bright young man with a bright mind and high aspirations. He grew up witnessing the family's internal and external competition for survival resources, and witnessed the darkness of human nature and moral degradation under the humble desire to survive: in order to compete for property, family group fights, father-son rivalry, and brotherly rivalry can be seen everywhere; in order to reproduce, inbreeding, marriage between close relatives, marriage swapping, marriage buying and selling, and child marriage, and other ancient customs are still present. The great contrast between his versatile and sensitive character and the living environment brings Sun Fugui a huge problem.
