drama evaluation:

the drama is not blindly praising or belittling. It is based on history, based on farmers' roots, and pursues a panoramic view of the 61-year historical process, insisting on finding happiness and faith in the rough history. (Tencent Review)

Different from other peasant dramas that are keen on parents' short stories and flirting, it can be said that it is the first time that a panoramic view has been used to establish a monument for farmers after the founding of New China. (Sina Review)

The drama spans 61 years, including land reform, people's commune and three years of natural disasters. Abolishing agricultural tax and other historical events. In terms of space, it highlights the continuous connection between farmers and land abandonment in China, and truly expresses this theme as the core of a work. (Netease Review)
