The article begins with the male protagonist Tian Feihu's father working in the fields to introduce the plot. The background takes place after 1978. The Chinese people began to live a new life, but the lives of the illiterate peasant class were extremely painful. Some people fight all their lives for their children, and some people give up their lives for their younger siblings. Sacrificing yourself for others was a common phenomenon in that era and in that village. People have long been accustomed to it, thinking that not asking for anything in return is the right way, and asking for something in return is shameful.
Tian Feihu has been smart since he was a child. He originally had a bright future at a young age, but fate was always playing tricks on him. On his way to becoming a business owner, he was both a victim and a perpetrator.
Intention: In that era when everyone has to endure hardship, the fittest will survive, otherwise they will be eliminated. Does a successful person mean that his life is victory?
