In the Wild Mountains
(Ye shan)

Huihui and his wife Guilan are working on their land in a traditional way, in their village from the Mounts Quiling. Huihui does not like changes. On the opposite, Hehe, who has seen a bit of the world as a soldier, is quite enterprising. He is separated from his wife Quirong and his children, and stays with Huihiu and Guilan. Discouraged by her husband passiveness, Guilan welcomes Hehe’s initiatives : farming silk worms first, then collecting squirrels’ excrement’s for medical use.
