A businessman who lost everything after being swindled in his previous life is reborn as a barefoot doctor in a mountain village in western Guangdong in 1970. He doesn’t seek revenge. Instead, he uses datura to save lives, teaches elderly women to breathe with pursed lips, and travels across seven counties in two and a half months, showing more than two hundred barefoot doctors how to keep people from dying needlessly when there’s no money or medicine.
