In addition to a singing competition for unmarried women, there was also a rope-pulling competition for unmarried men.
That is to say, the competitions in Qingshui Town were all aimed at unmarried men and women, with women showcasing their talents and men showcasing their strength. The better a village girl could sing, the more popular she was. The stronger a village man was, the more popular he was.
Due to the town's celebration, classes in town had been suspended during those days. The unmarried young men in their prime such as Mo Wenxuan, Liu Chang, and Tie Dan had all returned home.
However, participation in the competition required passing a preliminary selection. Mo Wenxuan, who seldom did any farm work, was eliminated in the first round. Liu Chang and Tie Dan, on the other hand, made the cut.
