The three protagonists of the TV series are Song Yunhui, Lei Dongbao and Yang Xun, and the coherence of the entire first two parts is very strong.
The time span of the first part of the TV series was from 1978 to 1989, and in the past ten years, Song Yunhui was admitted to university and assigned to a state-owned enterprise.
Lei Dongbao became the head of the village, founded the village collective enterprise, and worked hard for the township collective economy.
Yang Xun started a private business and became the owner of a private business.

Song Yunhui became a young deputy in the leadership team of Donghai Chemical. Lei Dongbao suffered a prison sentence and later established the Thunder Company.
Yang Xun, the owner of a private enterprise, has developed in Donghai City and has done well.
The content of "Dajiang Dahe 3" tells the story of the cooperation between Donghai Chemical and Luoda Company. Song Yunhui and Liang Sishen came together hand in hand.

Dong Zijian plays Yang Xun, a character who is a representative of the boss of a private enterprise.
Yang Caiyu starred as Liang Sishen, this character has appeared since she was a girl, and Yang Caiyu's role in the third season should be heavier.
Zhang Jianing's Ren Yaoer left a deep impression in the second season. In the third season, there are also familiar old actors such as Xu Yajun, Huang Jue, Li Guangjie, Zhao Da, and Huo Qing.
Judging from the three episodes that have been broadcast so far, this third season has completely inherited the advantages of the first two in terms of plot and rhythm, and it is a good drama with realistic realism.
Song Yunhui came to Pengyang Pesticide Factory as the factory director, and there was a pesticide incident just after entering the factory, and Song Yunhui was besieged and injured by the excited crowd.
