Mu Tianding was reborn in a northeastern mountain village in 1975. Facing famine and poverty, he relied on modern survival knowledge and forward-looking vision to lead his family into the Changbai Mountains, where they hunted, dug ginseng, searched for medicine, and prospected for minerals, creating a way out of the desperate situation. At the same time, his relationship with his simple childhood sweetheart gradually deepened, and he also developed an entanglement with a female educated youth that spanned eras and backgrounds. When the spring breeze of reform came, Mu Tianding seized the opportunity and not only allowed his family to take root in the mountains and forests, but also wrote a legend of struggle from survival in the wilderness to the tide of the times.
