Wang Jianguo was once the hero in the heart of his son Yuanhang. He rose from the loess and became the richest man in the village with his courage. However, in order to integrate into the business world, he got involved in gambling, emptied his family fortune, forced his wife away, and crushed his son's admiration.
The collapse of his family forced Wang Jianguo to travel far away from home, and began to atone for his sins in the sweat of the southern construction site. While studying in the county town, Yuanhang gradually saw clearly the helplessness behind his father's failure and the limitations of a farmer through the hardships of life and his mother's understanding.
This is not a simple story of a prodigal son who returns home. It's about how a man rebuilds his dignity from the ruins, how a teenager learns to understand after trauma, and how a family reestablishes roots in a new land after being separated. When the father and son are separated by a long distance and each chews the bitterness of life, the road to return home and reconciliation truly stretches out under their feet.
