Outside Yanmen Pass, buried under the loess, are the blood and bones of three generations.
On New Year's Eve of the 20th year of Guangxu's reign, a murderous case tore apart the peace of Xiaojing Town. Sun Fu, a young man, lost his father and cousin overnight and embarked on a long road of revenge; Jin Kui, a farmer's boy, started from scratch and went to Xikou to enter the business world, starting from selling grain and becoming a wealthy businessman in Yanbei. Two brothers with different surnames became sworn sworn brothers in troubled times. One seeks justice with fists, kicks and gunfire, while the other establishes business with integrity and benevolence.
From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, from the warlords' melee to the Japanese invasion of China, they witnessed the rise and fall of Shanxi merchants, the rampage of bandits, the flames of revolution, and also witnessed the bloody and benevolent nature of the Chinese people.
Three generations, forty years, a tragic song in the northern part of the country.
When the mountains and rivers are shattered, should you survive by holding on to your family business, or should you fight for this land with your flesh and blood?
