A story about targeted poverty alleviation in Wanmixi village follows a second generation poverty alleviation officer and an urban reporter from the big city who overcome numerous difficulties in their efforts to lead the villagers out of poverty.

The per capita arable land in Wanmixi Village is very small. Resources are scarce coupled by transportation difficulties. For hundreds of years, the people haven’t been able to escape poverty. In 2015, a young man by the name of Pu Quansheng (Luo Jin) arrives at the village. He is well-versed in the Miao and Tujia dialects and gradually makes changes to improve the situation at Wanximi Village.

However, idealism may be beautiful but difficult to implement and the process is full of challenges. Under the guidance of the party, Pu Quansheng enforces new policies and resolutely looks into village cadres who favor their own relatives and friends. In punishing laziness, he also seeks to encourage others to fight for their own dignity and to bring out their spirit of self-reliance. As the whole village is slowly lifted out of poverty, Pu Quansheng also reaps the rewards of a fulfilling life.
