When he was a child, Yin Fei watched helplessly as the gangsters in the village misbehaved with his beautiful mother. Her mother was so frightened that she cried and begged the man who came to save her not to call the police. Yin Fei was full of doubts and didn't understand why his mother was like this. Many years have passed, and Yin Fei is thirty years old. His life experience has made him much more mature. By chance, memories of the past emerged like a revolving lantern, and he suddenly understood his mother's helplessness at the time, which was to protect the family's reputation and long for a stable life. From then on, he realized that the experiences of countless rural people like his mother were combined into a magnificent epic that recorded the rise and fall of China, its glory and disgrace, and its perseverance and progress.
