The important flow in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is the estuary zone formed by the Qingjiang River flowing into the Yangtze River. It has a history of rural changes for more than half a century from the early years of the Republic of China to the year before the reform took effect. The story revolves around the multiple grievances of three families, the Shen family, the Zhang family and the Liu family, over land. Shen Laoqi used his intelligence and unscrupulous means to acquire a large area of ​​land in the mouth of the river and became rich. His treachery was jointly plotted by Zhang Manchun, a representative of the Zhang family, and Liu Er, a representative of the Liu family, and a large area of ​​​​the Shen family's land fell into ruins. Shen Laoqi turned into a poor man with nothing in the blink of an eye. However, things are unpredictable. Shen Laoqi relied on his usual speculative skills to transform himself. After obtaining an important position in the new grassroots regime, he immediately used his power to kill Zhang Manchun, his main opponent who had plotted against him. This mutual resentment was inadvertently passed on to the second generation, and even to the third generation.
