Mo Huairen, the landlord of Mo Village, exploited farmers, and Sanjie Liu sang folk songs to expose his ugly behavior. In order to stop Liu Sanjie from singing folk songs, Mo Huairen resorted to all kinds of despicable means, causing Liu Sanjie to fall into the water and drift to Qixingyan in Guilin.
