In the 1990s, Xihaigu, Ningxia, was filled with yellow sand, barren and desolate. People here are struggling for survival, but Ma Debao, a stubborn and wild young man, has found his own way in a desperate situation.
From the "little gangster" who picks up trains to the "desperate man" who works in the black coal mine, Ma Debao falls and gets up again and again in desperate situations. He was not a born hero, but he forged a strong will through hardships. When the villagers were still worried about survival, he was the first to stand up and try to grow Agaricus bisporus to lead the villagers out of poverty.
