During the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty, Wang Zhong's family in Dawangzhuang, Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, suffered from severe drought, insect disasters, and government food shortages. Landlord Li Tuanlian also robbed food and bully Zhao Dakui oppressed him. His second brother Wang Ren died in the Boxer Rebellion, and his eldest brother Wang De went crazy due to the trauma of participating in the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1894, and was forced to embark on the road to Guandong. On the way, he experienced life and death tests such as storms in Yantai Port, storms on the ship, oppression by Liu Hemp in Yuanbao Village, tree bark chewing, sandstorms, plagues, miasma in Changbai Mountain, Nanhuang Village's wits and collusion with Tsarist Russia's Ma Sanye, Hulan River swamps, etc., And finally settled in Zhaowanpu Village, Heilongjiang to reclaim wasteland. During the reclamation, Wang Zhong encountered difficulties such as heavy rains, floods, drought, tobacco and insect pests. Wang Zhong became ill due to overwork and died of damage to his lungs, spleen and kidneys. His wife, Yu, and their children maintained their livelihood through embroidery and herbal medicine. The eldest son, Wang Dianjun, took over the plow stick engraved with the word "loyalty" and continued the perseverance and watchfulness of the Guandong people on the black soil.

Traveling to Guandong·Wang Family Song
Verse 1
Wang Zhongwang The famine gnaws at the farm
Along the edge of the old well, floating corpses overflow the desolation
Drought Demon Dance swallows up the last grain
Guandong Road, setting sail in isolation
Second brother's blood dyed through the remaining frost of the regiment flag
Big brother is crazy, the trauma of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894
The Fourth Disciple: Desperate situation with no hope of survival
Traveling with a thin bag and dragging the family along in the storm
chorus
Breaking through Guandong, breaking through the waves of life and death
Yantai Port sandstorm tears off portholes
The waves in the cabin shattered the wandering panic
Holding fists with hands to withstand the ups and downs of fate
Verse 2
Changbai Mountain Miasma locks trapped Erlang
Wang Zhongbei mugwort and wild ginseng soup
Hulan River swamp swallowed up luggage
The shadow of the salesman points to the faint light of the village in the distance
Reclaiming wasteland, heavy rain smashed seedlings
Wang Zhongfang Otters are busy building embankments
Deep in the black soil, I bury my thoughts of loyalty
Over the years, I have supported the weight of my family
chorus
Breaking through Guandong Breaking through the Blood Sweat Chapter
Carved in the wind and snow, the spine carries the vicissitudes of life
In front of the sick bed, relatives gradually leave the scene
Needle and thread pick, herbal medicine family continues to prosper
Epilogue
The plow stick carves loyalty and the years sing quietly
The soul of Guandong takes root in this soil
Storyline Echoes of the Mountains
Future generations will hear the suffering and glory of our ancestors
