In the mid-to-late 1870s, a once-in-a-century famine occurred in China, known as the "Dingwu Famine" in history. More than 20 million victims in Shandong merged into the rolling torrent of Guandong... Natural disasters continued, and man-made disasters were frequent. The people struggled to survive amidst disasters such as the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of Beijing, the Boxer Rebellion, and the Russo-Japanese War. An old housekeeper in Ye County, Shandong Province hides a mysterious black flag, which determines the wealth and life of hundreds of people. The boss in charge of food and the second in charge of water accidentally killed someone and were wanted by the government. They had no choice but to embark on the road to Guandong. Guan Liang lived in the mines, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the nation and sacrificing his life for the country; Guan Shui joined the Boxer Rebellion and burned down shops related to foreigners in Harbin, and the wine shop run by his sister Guan Ying was also doomed. The three brothers and sisters sometimes share the same hatred, sometimes they are fighting against each other, and sometimes they work hand in hand. In the face of righteousness and family affection, they vigorously and vigorously created the great national cause of breaking through Guandong.
