After resurrecting his life, Chen Jing returns to the turning point of his life in 1977. In his previous life, he made a humble compromise for love, which resulted in his family being ruined and his life full of regrets. In this life, he suddenly came to his senses, cut off the entanglement with his ex-wife who was an educated youth, and took advantage of the opportunity to obtain a household registration in the capital, a stable job and compensation, and took the opportunity to escape from the barren mountain village. Knowing the general trend of the times, he decided to take advantage of the situation to change his destiny, protect his family, rise step by step in the turbulent 1970s, and change the rest of his miserable life.
