Baima Waterside

"Baima Waterside" is based on the Li family on the Baima Lake in southwestern Hunan. It tells the life story of Li Xiang, a young man from a poor family, who has gone through half a lifetime of ups and downs and fought back against the hardships to grow up. In 1988, Li Xiang was born with the auspiciousness of a double rainbow, but it coincided with family separation and disputes, and he experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature at an early age. His close relatives passed away one after another, his aunt was harshly treated, and the countryside was bitterly cold. As a boy, he endured humiliation and hatred and made a vow to leave the mountains. In his youth, Li Xiang went out to work hard, carrying bricks at construction sites and delivering water on the streets. He went through hardships to make a living but never gave up his dream of studying, and eventually became a regular teacher. On the road of love, he and Liu Yuwen truly fell in love, but they encountered all kinds of obstacles from the woman's family. They went to Yantang and suffered humiliation, but finally broke through the obstacles and stayed together. When he reaches middle age, Li Xiang takes root in rural education, grows from a front-line teacher to a principal, and educates people all over the world diligently. In the family, the husband and wife work together, and the children surround their knees, filial piety and respect for relatives. The family abandons grudges and leads the Li family to inherit the simple family tradition. After half a life of ups and downs, he returned to the Baima River, guarding the landscape and his family, and lived happily in the tranquility of the years, interpreting the tenacity of a poor family to counterattack and the warmth of family tradition.
