Bitter Oak Valley got its name from the bitter oak tree at the entrance of the village. There are only two families in Kuyugou, one with the surname of Liu and the other with the surname of Lin. It is said that their ancestors were Taiping Army soldiers. After their defeat, they hid in this isolated place in order to escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers. Later, they cut grass and built sheds, opened up mountains and opened up land, and later retained those begging, fleeing, and crazy women, married them, and produced offspring. Just die and marry. By the 1980s, there were still only two families in Kujugou, with a total of four people. There is only a hurdle between the two families. In the upper house lives the Lin family, whose mother's name is Chunlan, and whose son's name is Qingmiao; in the lower house lives the Liu family, whose mother's name is Fengmei and whose daughter's name is Cuiyue. Fengmei and Chunlan are like sisters. They fled the famine together and married to Kujuegou. Unfortunately, their men were both "short-lived ghosts" and they left one offspring and hurriedly "returned to the west". The two sisters had no choice but to rely on each other, help each other, maintain their lives together, and raise their children.
