During the Cultural Revolution, Zhao Tianyou, a rural youth, was almost reduced to a mental disorder because of his family background as a landlord. He had no choice but to marry into the mountainous Liugouhe. After the reform and opening up, he was elected as the director of the village committee. With the help of the son of a long-term worker who had been helped by his grandfather, he started a Chinese medicinal materials business. After a few years, the people of Liugouhe became rich by planting Chinese medicinal materials, and Zhao Tianyou became a farmer entrepreneur. Wang Hualin, the executive vice mayor, saw the development prospects and upgraded the Wenyang County Development Zone to the Yunshui City Chinese Medicinal Materials Development Zone, and strongly advocated the deep processing of Chinese medicinal materials. Wang Hualin was later dragged into the water by Ru Lihua, a fake Hong Kong businessman, who helped her to play "karate" in Yunshui City to siphon funds. Farmer entrepreneur Zhao Tianyou fell into Ru Lihua's honey trap. Ru Lihua cheated the farmers of Liugouhe of their Chinese medicinal materials and then absconded. Zhao Tianyou was forced to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff in the heavy snow under moral pressure and legal questioning.
