Canghe Residual Land, Republic of China 1926

In the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, drought and plague were rampant in central Hebei, and the Fuyang River stopped flowing. Zhang Daonong, a scholar from the east gate of Hengshui, faced exorbitant taxes, war disasters, banditry, and exploitation by evil gentry, and led a village to survive. This is not a time-travel novel, but the struggle and solidarity of ordinary people in troubled times. There is no golden finger, no noble person from heaven, only account books, hoes and hard bones. What he wants to protect is not the world, but the remaining land and the more than a hundred people behind him.
