Since China was forced to sign the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing in 1840, China has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the Chinese people have lived in dire straits. For the sake of independence, prosperity, and the liberation, happiness and well-being of the people, countless people with lofty ideals rose up to find a way to save the country and the people. In the fierce struggle between aggression and counter-invasion, oppression and counter-oppression, almost every corner of the land of China has been affected and has been tested by blood and fire. Especially from the Revolution of 1911 to the founding of New China, to the comprehensive completion of the three major socialist transformations and the establishment of the socialist system in 1958, the land of China has experienced intense turbulence and earth-shaking changes. Even Shanzidong and the small mountain village of Baiyanba, located deep in the big mountain ridge of Shibanling and Mazhaoling at the junction of Enshi and Lichuan, are no exception. Anyone with a little bit of ambition hopes to change their destiny through their own efforts, obtain food, clothing, health, and achieve a better life. The experience of the son-in-law Dongyin from childhood to middle age described in this book shows the drastic changes in modern Chinese society and how the times affect people's destiny.
