At 26, Xibei youth Ba Jianlong missed his chance to attend university because of an illness. He gave up on himself and drifted through an ordinary life, until the day he witnessed Qiao Yang, a cadre sent to support Xinjiang, give his young life to save two children from drowning. The incident deeply moved him. Later, together with Qiao Yi, the female lead who came to attend her older brother's funeral, he led the Xibei youth in striving to turn their hometown into a beautiful new countryside.
