On a crisp autumn day in 1974, Zhang Sanfeng wore a solemn military hat and embarked on a journey to the army with longing and excitement. At that time, he was in his early twenties, and he was full of infinite reverie for the future. As a child growing up in a deep mountain village, being able to put on a military uniform and go to a foreign country is undoubtedly a major turning point in life. To serve the country, he must perform well, and such expectations linger in his heart.
After two years of military career, Zhang Sanfeng successfully retired with excellent results and returned to his familiar hometown mountain village. When the people in the village saw that this once simple young man was now a radiant soldier, they were all sincerely happy for him. Among them, Wang Wu, a comrade-in-arms with Zhang Sanfeng's childhood sweetheart, is even more sincerely proud of him. Sanfeng, you can be regarded as getting ahead, we are all proud of you Wang Wu patted Zhang Sanfeng on the shoulder, his face was filled with heartfelt joy.
However, the good times were short-lived. Not long after Zhang Sanfeng reintegrated into village life, an unspeakable unease quietly enveloped this quiet mountain village. It turned out that during Zhang Sanfeng's enlistment, there were some entanglements in the village, which involved Wang Wu's family. The contradiction that could not be understood gradually escalated in Zhang Sanfeng's absence, and finally evolved into an act of revenge against Zhang Sanfeng.
One day, Zhang Sanfeng was repairing the fence in his small courtyard, when suddenly, Wang Wu broke in with a few strong men, punched and kicked each other, and spoke evil words. You don't know what to do, you shouldn't have let you enlist in the army in the first place, and now you're coming back to be a prestige Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng was dumbfounded for a while and didn't know what to do. He couldn't understand why his once close comrades-in-arms were so hostile to him.
Facing Wang Wu's fierce attack, Zhang Sanfeng didn't know how to react for a while. As a veteran, he is naturally capable of dealing with such an emergency, but deep down he is extremely reluctant to have such a fierce conflict with his comrades for many years. He tried to resolve the contradiction with words, but unfortunately Wang Wu had been completely blinded by hatred. You traitor, the two of us fought fiercely at the beginning, but now you want to bully us honest people. Do you think that with your little military merit, you can be arrogant in the village, right, Wang Wu roared angrily, and his fists kept falling on Zhang Sanfeng's body. Fifth brother, this is all a misunderstanding, do you calm down and listen to me, okay, we used to be close comrades-in-arms, how could you be so hostile to me Although Zhang Sanfeng was in pain, he still tried to remain rational and tried to resolve this conflict.
However, Wang Wu had obviously been blinded by hatred and was completely unwilling to listen to Zhang Sanfeng's explanation. He became more and more crazy, punching and kicking, and the conflict between the two became more and more intense. Seeing this, the surrounding villagers gathered around, some persuaded to fight, some watched from the sidelines, and the whole village suddenly fell into chaos.
Zhang Laohan said as he stretched out his hands to separate the two. His words revealed endless helplessness and pain, which made everyone present feel a pang of guilt.
After listening to Wang Wu's words, Zhang Sanfeng finally understood what was going on. It turned out that during his enlistment, Wang Wu's family suffered unexpected misfortune. And Wang Wu has always believed that all this is related to Zhang Sanfeng, which is why he has so much hostility and hatred towards himself. Fifth brother, I haven't known what happened all these years, why didn't you tell me earlier, you know, the two of us were good brothers who fought side by side back then. Zhang Sanfeng sighed and reached out to pat Wang Wu's shoulder. I originally wanted to find you a theory, but when I think about what happened back then, I can't help but be impulsive. Sanfeng, I'm really sorry, I'm so stupid. Wang Wu's face was full of apology, and tears fell involuntarily.
Seeing this, Zhang Laohan stepped forward and hugged the two tightly, and tears soaked his old face. Okay, okay, it's all my children, don't hurt each other for these things in the future. No matter what happens, we are all a family, and we are all close brothers and brothers.
After the pain and reconciliation, Zhang Sanfeng and Wang Wu finally relieved their inner guilt. They regained the deep friendship they had back then, and Zhang Laohan, the old father, was comforted by it. However, this turmoil is far from subsiding, and it has set off more far-reaching waves on Zhang Sanfeng's life path.
During their enlistment, the misfortune of Wang's family was caused by a years-long dispute in the village. Back then, a man named Zhou Guoliang, in order to compete for a valuable forest land, did not hesitate to take risks, and involved the Wang family in a bloody lawsuit. During Zhang Sanfeng's absence, Wang Wu's family suffered huge economic losses, and some even lost their lives. Now, Wang Wu has long lost his original passion and fighting spirit, and only wants to find an outlet to vent his inner resentment and pain.
And the root of all this comes from Zhou Guoliang, a person in the village who has never met. He occupies the richest woodland in the village and lives a privileged life without worrying about food and clothing, but behind the scenes, he manipulates the most complex parts of human nature to satisfy his own selfish desires and greed. He took advantage of the unscrupulous means and plunged countless ordinary people into endless strife.
Looking at Wang Wu's painful appearance, Zhang Sanfeng was deeply touched in his heart. He realized that during his service in the army, he had inadvertently missed these untold tragedies in his village and missed the opportunity to prevent them from happening. Now, although he has regained his friendship with Wang Wu, there are still dark corners in the village, waiting for him to uncover the truth and seek justice.
In the days that followed, Zhang Sanfeng began to investigate the ins and outs of the matter. He found out that Zhou Guoliang was a ruthless landowner who had been acting recklessly in the village for many years, oppressing the people and seeking personal gains. In order to get that piece of woodland, he not only used various means, but also triggered a lengthy litigation entanglement, which eventually led to the tragedy of Wang Wu's family.
As the investigation deepened, Zhang Sanfeng became more and more convinced that he must seek justice for the ordinary people in the village and justice for the Wang Wu family. This is not only about the friendship between himself and his old comrades-in-arms, but also about the future direction of this village. So, he began to plan an action against Zhou Guoliang.
With the help of various resources and connections accumulated during his time in the army, Zhang Sanfeng began to plan an unprecedented counterattack. He first managed to find out the evidence of Zhou Guoliang's crime, and then contacted the local legal profession to seek their help. With the cooperation of everyone, he not only successfully exposed Zhou Guoliang's scandal, but also finally made him pay a heavy price.
In this way, after some twists and turns, Zhang Sanfeng finally served justice for Wang Wu's family. And this turmoil also made the whole village blow a fresh spring breeze. There has been a renewed confidence in the land and more hope for the future.
Since then, Zhou Guoliang has never returned, and Wang Wu has also regained his enthusiasm for life. The reconciliation between the two of them bathed the entire village in the sunshine that had not been seen for a long time. Although Zhang Sanfeng had suffered Wang Wu's revenge, in the end he reaped more gains. Not only did he rebuild his deep friendship with his old comrades, but he also found a new direction in his life and became the guardian of the village.
When Zhang Laohan looked at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart. He looked at his two children with relief, and finally resolved the years of mustard and regained a deep friendship. And the turning point of all this started with an unexpected experience of Zhang Sanfeng.
