In 1967, the tide of the times rushed forward with the breath of change. In the years of turmoil and hope, Zhang Hejie and Xu Qiuyi met. The two young hearts were closely intertwined with each other because of their common longing, and they entered the marriage hall hand in hand. Facing the only one acre of thin farmland at home, they bent down to work in the morning frost and dusk snow, sprinkling sweat into the land with their cracked hands. When there was a shortage of chemical fertilizers, they tried to make their own farmyard manure; when there was a shortage of agricultural machinery, they plowed intensively with traditional farming tools. In the stormy days, the couple clings to each other, guarding their yearning for a better life. As time goes by, that acre of land, which bears countless efforts, continues to grow and expand like bamboo shoots breaking through the ground. From one acre to a hundred acres, Zhang Hejie and Xu Qiuyi carved out their own happy world in the gaps of the times, and wrote an ordinary but great legend of struggle.
