Eight Thousand Miles of Road

This drama is adapted from the true deeds of a group of outstanding teachers who came from Haian, Jiangsu to teach in Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan in 1988. It tells the story of teachers from Jiangsu who volunteered to teach in Xiaoliangshan, Yunnan in the 1980s. The prototype of Lianghai Middle School in the drama is Ninghai National Middle School. Li Hai graduated from the normal school and learned that his father Li Shuming had brought a group of teachers to Xiaoliangshan to teach. Li Hai was puzzled by his father's choice. When he came to the shore of Lugu Lake, the difficulties far exceeded Li Shuming's imagination: mudslides, obstruction of the school construction site, poor student foundation - some people backed down, some wrote anonymous letters to sue him, and his wife became ill from overwork and left him... Li Hai resigned and came to Zhuhai despite his father's objections. The incompatible environment and the departure of his girlfriend left him confused and wandering. In desperation, he also came to Xiaoliangshan. After an unforgettable experience of supporting education with his father, he found that he could no longer leave Xiaoliangshan and Axiang, a Yi girl. At this time, Li Shuguang held the portrait of his lover and decided to stay in Xiaoliangshan forever.
