In the late 1970s, Yang Shihong, who grew up in the countryside, fell in love with Niu Wang from the village. Later, their families fell out because of the betrothal gift, and Niu Wang married into the neighboring village. Yang Shihong married Wang Changan to be angry with him. At first, Shihong felt that Wang Changan was cowardly, but after a period of life, Yang Shihong gradually matured and was deeply moved by Wang Changan's elegance and dream of getting out of the mountains. Later, Wang Changan died in a car accident and left the whole family to Yang Shihong. In order to live up to her husband and educate her children to get out of the mountains, Yang Shihong took on the responsibility alone in the torment and hardship. The family walked forward with difficulty. Although there was an opportunity to get out of the mountains and change their fate, Shihong finally stayed for her family. Later, her youngest son died. The only time Shihong went out of the mountains was to welcome back her youngest son's ashes. Shihong's story of joys and sorrows tells us that staying behind is also a kind of courage, and staying behind is also noble and great.
