Li Jianmin was once a high-spirited foreman, but fell into the abyss after the project was not completed, becoming a destitute man who could not even pay for his children's tuition.
On that windy and snowy winter night, he bought a lottery ticket for ten yuan and unexpectedly won the 5 million grand prize. This windfall that fell from the sky, instead of being a salvation, turned into a scourge - greedy relatives swarmed in like sharks that smelled blood, his brother forged a contract and bit him back, a loan shark blocked the door with a knife, and his wife broke down between money and family love and left.
From a mansion to a court, from a multi-millionaire to a prisoner, Li Jianmin experienced all the evils of human nature in just one year. When the "anti-theft door" installed at a huge cost could not stop the fear in his heart, he finally understood: money is an iron that can iron out the wrinkles of life, but it cannot iron out the twisted human heart.
In the desperate situation of being betrayed and separated from his relatives, he chose to burn the IOU, donate money anonymously, and fled his hometown with a scar on his forehead. Five years later, he returned to his hometown village and opened a small hardware store.
This is a story about loss and awakening. It tells us: Real wealth is not the number in the bank card, but a bowl of hot rice in the cold winter, and the door of the home that can still be closed safely no matter how strong the wind or rain is.
