Zhao Tiezhu, a middle-aged farmer with a grumpy personality and a lazy attitude towards food, actually forced his seriously ill wife to borrow food from her parents' house during the three-year difficult period because his family was extremely poor, his wife was sick, and his children were howling with hunger. His wife failed to borrow food, so she drowned herself in shame and despair. Zhao Tiezhu regretted it too late and spent the rest of his life alone. When he was seriously ill and dying, a thunder struck him back to that fateful day in 1960. He opened his eyes and saw his wife was about to walk out of the house - this time, he grabbed her hand firmly: "Cuilan, I'll go today, you wait at home."
