In Beiping in 1943, war was raging and people died of hunger everywhere.
He Yuzhu opened his eyes in chaos and became the child in the courtyard who had neither enough food nor clothing to keep him warm. The family is poor, the parents are miserable, and the calculations between neighbors are like needles in the barren days.
When he was about to die, he accidentally touched the warmth between his eyebrows and opened a door to a mysterious space.
There is black soil for farming, a spring to quench your thirst, and the flow of time is different from the outside world.
From then on, in the famine years, he quietly filled his family's rice bowl with the grain and rice produced in space; in troubled times, he used the barriers of space to hide much-needed supplies; in the face of the open and secret attacks in the courtyard, he carried a shocking secret and a "silly" disguise, step by step from survival to protection.
No one knew that this seemingly innocent young man held in his arms a "little world" that could change his destiny. In this age when life is at stake, he must use this space to protect his family and live a different life in the courtyard.
