[In 1988, 23-year-old Yang Shanzhong was an "urban drifter" living under a bridge, but he wanted to use the most despicable means to trick a virtuous woman into starting a family.
In a gun battle, his brother was killed. He came to power through blood and tears in exchange for food and clothing for his family.
From selling defective clothes to working in earthmoving sand and gravel, from being called "Sichuan Mouse" by the villagers to being called "Mr. Yang" in public, he thought he had transcended class, but found that he was always a pawn on the chessboard.
When his two daughters grew up, he realized that true pure love is not about possession, but about fulfillment after breaking out of the quagmire.
