In the Weibei Plateau of Shaanxi Province, among the loess ravines, Zhao Baishun, the old party secretary of Suanzaopo Village, suddenly passed away in the drought. What was left to his son Zhao Guyu was a deserted village and only those heavy last words: "Keep this cellar and protect this land."
Veteran Zhao Guyu gave up the iron job in the city. Faced with the doubts of the villagers and the ridicule of his cousin Zhao Lixia, he resolutely took up the heavy responsibility of the village party secretary. In this drought-stricken yellow land, he went to the county eight times just to get a glimpse of a deep well; swept by the e-commerce wave, he clumsily picked up his mobile phone to live broadcast, trying to sell the unsalable apples.
However, it is easy to build roads and divert water, but it is difficult to retain people and gather their hearts. When the desolation of the hollow village collides with the temptation of modern capital, Zhao Guyu must find a balance between the old patriarch's conservatism and the businessman's pursuit of profit.
This is a profound epic about the Loess Plateau, telling the story of three generations of farmers breaking through and guarding against the torrent of the times. As the Xiyin High-Speed Railway roars through the thousand-year-old plateau, spring in Suanzaopo has finally arrived.
