In the 1990s, immigrants who moved from the poorest Xihaigu area in Ningxia to the Yuquanying area built their new homes from scratch. Village cadre Ma Defu (Huang Xuan) was concerned about electricity, irrigation water and other issues. He worked hard but was not confident about when the future would come. Until the new national poverty alleviation policy was introduced, Fujian provided counterpart assistance to Ningxia's poverty alleviation cause and established the Min Ning Village, a model of cooperation. Chen Jinshan (Guo Jingfei) and Ling Yinong (Huang Jue) and other outstanding Fujian cadres and technicians shed their sweat for Min Ning Town and helped Defu find the direction of the future. Young people in the village, such as Bai Maimiao (Huang Yao), Ma Debao (Bai Yufan), and Li Shuihua (Reyiza), also gained confidence through labor import and the development of courtyard economy. In the process of development, issues such as tradition and modernity, material civilization and spiritual civilization, root-seeking and root-breaking have been constantly highlighted. For the older generation such as Ma Hanshui (played by Zhang Jiayi), Principal Bai (played by Zu Feng), and Li Dayou (played by You Yongzhi), challenges and changes are also constantly happening. The people who walked out of Xihaigu have not forgotten their original intentions. They did not break their roots, but took root in this more fertile land, supporting each other and embarking on a prosperous road.
