In the great famine of 1960, miner Zhou Yue fled to a northwest cave with his seriously ill wife Chen Jielei, barely surviving on wild vegetables and cinder. One day, Chen Jielei knelt down and begged through tears: "My sister was taken by the landlord's son—he wants half a bag of millet to let her go!" Zhou Yue's half-month savings of millet was just enough to make porridge for his wife—should he let his sister-in-law be sold, or risk his wife's life? When he held the millet bag and stepped out, Chen Jielei stuffed a wild vegetable cake hidden under her pillow into his hand: "I can hold on. My sister is my last family." But when Zhou Yue arrived at the landlord's house, he saw his sister-in-law holding a chopper, fighting for food and shouting: "I need medicine for my sister's asthma!" It turned out the "detention" was a lie—she made it up to steal food for her sister. In the famine, the most painful thing isn't hunger, but the sincerity of loved ones desperately pushing the chance of survival into each other's arms.
