As a realistic drama, the plot background of On Earth is based on reality. From the beginning, the TV series did not shy away from history, and began to tell the story of ordinary people Zhou Jia from the real historical background.
The background of the story is the movement of educated youth to the countryside. As a family with many children, the Zhou family can only leave one child around. So the five members of the Zhou family lived in four places: the father participated in the construction of the "Big Third Line" in Chongqing, the eldest son went to the Jiangliao Production and Construction Corps, the daughter went to Guizhou with the poet's husband, and the youngest son Zhou Bingkun stayed in Guangzi Film and lived alone with his mother.
The development of the play involves at least three important historical events: the educated youth going to the countryside, the construction of the "big third line" and the production and construction corps. From these historical events, the story of the ups and downs of the fate of the characters is unfolded, which gives the world a deep sense of history.
