The film passes through two periods of Deng Xiaoping serving as the Secretary of Ruijin County Party Committee in 1930 and his comeback in 1973.

Having been released after serving his sentence, a funeral director accidentally crosses paths with a girl which brings about an unexpected change in his attitude towards life.

The film is based on the development and transformation of Hekou Village in Rongcheng City, portraying the challenges faced by this small fishing village during the post-reform era. It tells the story of a once-prosperous village where the women, with little to do, spent their time playing cards and arguing. A retired village party secretary, aiming to restore positive village values, decides to launch a “Fishing Village Homestay” initiative to enrich their lives. Through shared efforts filled with both laughter and tears, the village women discover new life goals, and the homestay business thrives.
