Unable to make a living in the bustling city of Shanghai, Cang Hai, after a bizarre adventure, returns to his desolate hometown in the west. Faced with endless stretches of yellow earth and rolling hills, he starts to dig wells and cultivate the land, transforming the barren wasteland into a paradise. With a loyal dog, a donkey, a few acres of melons, some vegetable patches, and several acres of fruit trees planted around his house and on the mountainside, he enjoys fruits and flowers throughout the year. His days are filled with simple pleasures: drinking tea, eating home-cooked meals, playing chess, and reading books, living a carefree life.
