The arrival of two young volunteers from provincial cities, Qiao Nan and Lü Fang, disrupts the tranquility here. Dalan, known as "Mountain Mama" by the locals, unexpectedly discovers that Qiao Nan is actually her biological daughter, taken away years ago by her ex-husband Qiao Zhida. Seeing Lü Fang unable to endure the remote and backward conditions of Birch Ridge and choosing to return to the city early to pursue her doctoral studies, while Qiao Nan gradually blends into the life here, Dalan is filled with mixed emotions. She is saddened by her diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which signifies her limited time remaining, but she is joyful that her long-lost daughter has returned to her side. The people of Birch Ridge rely on the mountains for their livelihood, and their lives are quite good, but outdated views have led to poverty caused by illness and returning to poverty due to illness. The experiences of patients like Ma Xiaoxue and Bai Laisuo deeply pain Qiao Nan's heart.

As the day of her return to the city for her doctoral exam approaches, her affection for Mountain Mama and the natural beauty of Birch Ridge grows stronger. In the morning mist, as she steps onto a small wooden bridge, she suddenly hears Ma Xiaoxue calling out to her, "Mountain Mama"; she is deeply shaken. Faced with her boyfriend Zhao Yifan's betrayal of love in the city, and the pursuits of Lin Feng, a local young entrepreneur, and Shi Hai, a young worker from the forest farm, her emotions become turbulent.

For over twenty years, he has devoted himself to protecting Dalan and the health clinic. In Dalan's final days, the villagers hold a unique wedding ceremony for them. In the sunset, Dalan passes away, leaving behind new generations of medical workers like Qiao Nan, Duan Hong, and Ma Xiaoxue, who continue the deep affection that Mountain Mama had for the people of Birch Ridge...
