In 1979, the spring breeze of reform and opening up swept across southern Guangdong. The city of Guangzhou was filled with gold and danger.
Chen Qiwen, a top student in western Guangdong, holds the only admission letter from Sun Yat-sen University in the county. However, his father was seriously injured at a construction site and his contractor ran away with the money. His family fortune fell overnight. He shattered his dream of studying and followed his younger brother Zhou Zhiqiang to Guangzhou. He started as a bag-carrying coolie at Huangsha Wharf and plunged headlong into the mixed tide of the times.
He is thoughtful and relies on resourcefulness to resolve the gang siege and gain a foothold at the dock; he is brave and resourceful, and uses the weak to defeat the strong to integrate scattered forces, and has gone from being an unknown to being respected as "Brother Wen" in the Guangzhou underground world.
When you are in the gutter, your heart is toward the light. He sticks to the bottom line, does not bully the people, does not use drugs, and does not harm innocent people. As early as when he became famous in the world, he laid out a whitewashing plan in advance: from building materials trade to clothing wholesale, from logistics and freight to real estate development, he peeled off gray industries step by step, stepping on the trend of the times to complete a gorgeous turn.
From a dock coolie to an underground talker, to a famous entrepreneur in southern Guangdong, he created his own legend in the ups and downs of Guangzhou in the past twenty years.
The little brothers each got married and started their own business. With their loved ones by their side, they returned to their hometowns to build roads and schools to support their homeland. Looking back at where they came from, they finally lived up to their time and had a happy ending.
