Features: The work narrates how a group of rural men sought to establish their livelihood in the towering mountains and deep valleys during a specific era. In their interactions with a group of mountain women, a unique bond of enmity, love, and dramatic twists unfolds between the twin sisters and Tian Lai, a porter. It evokes the fierce and passionate nature of love in the wilderness, the tender and poignant intertwining of life-and-death devotion, and the tragic yet bold display of human nature and morality. The rumbling caravans on the ancient roads, the rugged and simple porters, the beautiful yet impoverished women, and the blood-soaked life of bandits all create a Gypsy-like scene of Eastern nomadic life. The story is both beautiful and realistic, with a profound and sorrowful theme, and its plot is full of unexpected twists.
