[Realism + Sadism + Countryside + Humanity + Reality]
In the cold winter of 1983, in order to save her son's life, the mute Chen Xiulian became a living blood bank that was inferior to even the meanest "blood cow" of that era.
She has no system, no rebirth, only a spine bent by poverty.
Her ex-husband went to college and returned to the city to become a successful man, while she stayed in the countryside to hunt for food like a dog.
She thought that as long as she was willing to endure hardship, she could save her son's life, but fate was like a rusty sickle that would not give up until her throat was cut.
This is a story of silence, endurance and ultimate destruction.
