Jiang Haojie and Jiang Jifa are a poor father and son who often struggle with matters of the heart and the hardships of life. One refuses to settle for an ordinary life and yearns for the outside world. Rising from a down-and-out family of humble scholars, he finds a steady job and leaves his spiritual home behind in another place. The other is inclined toward an ordinary life, yet remains dissatisfied with his circumstances. He rises from a lowly farmhand who couldn't hold his head up to a candidate in the town's poverty alleviation program, becoming a true "Apple King." They are an ordinary father and son, yet each carries an extraordinary heart.
