From the late 1970s to the early 1990s, in a remote mountain village called Shimao Village in Yulin, northern Shaanxi Province, the young widow Li Guilan raised her five children (the oldest was seven years old and the youngest was still in infancy) by herself after her husband died unexpectedly. She is like the bitter plant on the loess slope, its roots are deeply rooted in the barren soil, and it still grows stubbornly despite the wind, frost, rain and snow. In the past twenty years, she experienced famine, discrimination, fatigue, and disease, but she always stood upright and cultivated all five children into talents.
