In the cold winter of 1935, Pei Testiu was born on her father's grave. The fortune teller's assertion that "fate can defeat relatives" made her bear an ominous name ever since. She was sold as a child bride at the age of fourteen, her husband died in a mining accident, her mother-in-law passed away, and her clan elders forced her to "transfer" to marry her brother-in-law. This woman, who had been struck down by fate time and time again, discovered the shocking conspiracy behind her husband's death in a desperate situation.
During the flames of the Anti-Japanese War, she took her family to avoid bandits and dug Guanyin soil to feed herself; during the land reform storm, she knelt in front of the peasant association for three days and three nights to save her old house; the life experience of the adopted orphan girl A Zhi became a mystery, and her brother-in-law went to the third-line construction. The huge waves of the times hit this shaky home again and again. When threats from the iron mine boss came one after another, Pei Testiu finally understood that her husband's "accidental" death was actually a carefully planned murder.
From the child bride in the Republic of China to the pillar of the family after the reform and opening up, Pei Testiu measured the most turbulent years in rural China with her feet that were wrapped and then released. Like the trackers in Wu Gorge, she used her flesh and blood to pull the whole family upstream. When the truth finally came to light, this woman who was once predicted to "kill all her relatives" proved with her life that the hardest life can also weave the warmest love.
