The work tells the story of Li, a young man from Panghai Town, Kaili City, Guizhou Province, who returned to his hometown after wandering for many years and found that his hometown was undergoing tremendous changes brought about by reform and opening up. His father, Yang Dashan, led the villagers to develop tourism. During this period, he faced the challenge of the impact of foreign culture and the loss of traditional culture. After Li returned home, he joined hands with his father to protect the local traditional culture, restore the ecology, and lead the villagers on the road to sustainable development. "Stories from Beyond the Mountains" depicts the changes in rural China and shows the perseverance and transformation of the Miao and Dong people. It is a realistic work full of the flavor of the times.
