The novel describes the emotional experience of a young farmer named Zhuzi in Zhao Village. In today's context where farmers from the countryside are moving out to work in the city, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law, Lanzi Ma, also leaves home to work in the city. Zhuzi insists on staying in his hometown and cultivating the fields. The long separation triggered an emotional crisis between the two. At this time, Yuxiu, the daughter-in-law left behind in the village, entered Zhuzi's life. As the relationship between the two increased, Zhuzi's spirit underwent a series of new changes. At the same time, as a large number of young men and women from the countryside migrate to the city, a series of new contradictions and problems have been brought to the countryside: the survival of left-behind elderly people, the lack of love for left-behind children, environmental problems caused by straw burning, etc. Agricultural modernization and the construction of new rural areas have become empty words. Who will save the countryside? Where should rural areas go in the 21st century?
