"Chronicles of Wangshan'ao" tells the story of Wang Jianguo, who was born in Wangjia'ao, a mountainous area in the north. Since he took the college entrance examination in 1998 in order to change his destiny, he has worked hard in the city in administration and programming. During this period, he helped his fellow villager Goudan resolve workplace crises, enlightened his son Xiaoshan's growing confusion, and helped his classmate Zhang Hao's entrepreneurial difficulties. He also gradually understood the weight of his hometown amidst his parents' nostalgia. In the end, he chose to return to his hometown to build a bookstore and repay his hometown with education and culture. In the process of "going out of the mountains" to pursue personal values and "returning to the mountains" to inherit local feelings, he found the true meaning of "looking at the mountains" - not only a yearning for the outside world, but also persistence and feedback to the hometown, becoming a bridge connecting urban and rural areas and conveying hope.
