Hedong is in ruins, the fiefdoms have splintered into rival powers, and famine strikes year after year. He realizes that staying in the Central Plains means certain death. So he trains in riding and archery, gathers his clan, and heads far west to the Western Regions. The story gives a detailed account of his family’s poverty and the hardships his father, Bu Laoshi, endures to make a living herding livestock.
