During a severe drought in the Republic of China era, the people of Qingxi Village survived by digging up wild vegetables. Liu Er, the second of the three Liu siblings, was unruly and disrespectful to his elders, always acting like a bully. Though the villagers were often fed up with him, the hardships of the times forced them to put up with his behavior. Then a sudden illness left Liu Er barely clinging to life, and everyone was sure he wouldn't last much longer. But he made a miraculous recovery. After that brush with death, his personality changed completely. His stubbornness and hostility faded away, and he became considerate and devoted to his family, undergoing a transformation like a man reborn.
