Dongting Lake, eight hundred li, is my home.

Because she could not put up with the living environment in Tianchengwan where serious floods hit four times in five years, Ma Yuhua ran away when she was about to get her marriage certificate. Though Luo Zailai chased her onto the train, he failed to bring her back which made him very painful and he decided to leave Tianchengwan. At this time, the central government proposed the idea of immigration and town construction, moving Tianchengwan 30 li backward and building two streets in Qingshan Town. The folks from Tianchengwan were very righteous but also reluctant to leave their homeland. One can imagine that it must be an emotional torture to leave the home where they had lived for generations and the land that warmed by the hearts of their ancestors. Luo Zailai and the young people from Tianchengwan took the lead. They had a farther sight, greater ideal and higher ambition than their parents. The thoughts and behaviors of Luo Zailai aroused the suspicion of the villagers and even the anger of the masses who threw him into the Dongting Lake. Unexpectedly, this promoted a new love affair of Luo Zailai. Yi Huanxiao was the daughter of a fisherman family in Dongting Lake and a core figure with great influence in Qingshan Town. She and her young friends actively welcomed the young people from Tianchengwan and was questioned by the folks in Qingshan Town. In Yaya Zhou deep in Dongting Lake, Yi Huanxiao got to know Wu Fan, a young scientist. However, Wu Fan became somewhat eccentric because he could not recover from the pain of his wife's death. He received Yi Huanxiao as his student in a dilemma. Under the influence and help of Yi Huanxiao, Wu Fan finally got out of the mental predicament but also caused the gossip around him and the misunderstanding of Luo Zailai. To protect the birds in Dongting Lake, Wu Fan fell under the guns of poachers. In the process of leading the young people to move to Qingshan Town, Luo Zailai started a new business. Many young people working outside came back and brought news that the boss of Luo Zailai when he worked in Shenzhen hoped that he would go back and promised to give him twice salary. Luo Zailai replied that he wanted to be the boss and asked him to work for him in Dongting Lake with triple salary.
