On the day he was released from prison, his entire possessions were thirty-two dollars and a half, and a black-and-white photo of his parents.
At an abandoned station, a baby girl who was too cold to cry grasped his index finger with a hand no bigger than his knuckles. He wrapped the child in a cotton-padded jacket and took him back to the impoverished mountain village. The whole village was waiting to see the joke. How could a bachelor who had been in prison raise a girl with unknown origins?
But they don't know that Zhao Tiejun is a tough guy who hides his trump card. He served as an engineering soldier, served in prison, and learned skills from strange people among the prisoners. He can see mineral veins, burn charcoal, dare to mine, and even more dare to build a road with his own hands and rebuild a home from the ruins.
And the little girl she picked up is not someone to be trifled with. When she was four years old, she pushed back the chocolates given as gifts. When she was six years old, she lost a shoe in a heavy rain and wanted to find her father. When she was thirteen years old, facing the enemy who had put her father in an unjust prison sentence, she raised her face and said - "The mine is not for sale, and my father will not sell it. I will guard it with you."
This is a two-way redemption story. A tough father who climbed out of the abyss, used the most clumsy and profound way to braid his daughter's hair, pave the way, and hold up the sky. An abandoned baby girl used her smile, her stubbornness, and all her trust to replant her father from the ruins into a tree.
A rough man raises a cub, but his father is a spoiled man. Warmth and healing, laughter with tears. See how this father and daughter make the barren back hill full of flowers.
