After graduating from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Ye Shaobei became a designer at a renovation company. But he was fired for standing by his principles, and soon after, his family underwent a major upheaval, forcing him to return to his rural hometown.
In Hualong Village, Ye Shaobei once again witnessed the ignorance and backwardness of rural life and experienced the hardships and challenges of rural economic development firsthand. At the same time, he finally resolved a long-standing knot in his heart.
After returning to the city, Ye Shaobei, whose expertise in design ran deep, was invited to join the planning team for Chongqing Art Park. He measured every inch of Huangjueping on foot, explored and organized its cultural heritage, and worked hard to help create a cultural landmark for Chongqing.
Meanwhile, Ye Shaobei's girlfriend Yan Xin passed the exam to become a university-graduate village official and went to his hometown. She devoted herself to building the new countryside, transforming Hualong Village into a thriving community and accelerating its urbanization.
