Synopsis

A story about how one banknote dropped by a cruel murderer can change the life of a poor and simple farmer. Ever since he can remember, Cao Chen has been exploited by the local village head. It is the same this summer, when the village head again packs his car with watermelons and leaves without paying. Then a miracle happens. A motorcyclist stops at Chen's shed and drops some money as he is leaving. When Chen chases after him to return it, an SUV loses control and crashes into the building. Chasing after the motorcycle has not only saved the farmer's life, he also gets paid good compensation for the damage to his shed. Soon the police arrive, chasing the motorcyclist. Chen points them in the right direction. Soon he becomes a local hero and gets lots of money as a reward. These events change Chen beyond recognition.
