Beset by countless dangers, the fate of Ning Xi and her family becomes intertwined with that of the neighbouring Zhao clan, and their lives leave Sichuan changed forever.
自四川荒芜告急康熙颁布“填川诏”开篇，以主人公宁徙离闽进川遇飞人夺子为线索，以川东小城荣昌县为主场景，浓墨重彩地描述了进川移民的大起大落。全篇贯穿了宁徙与土著士绅赵书林、闽西武士常维翰惊世骇俗的生死爱情，栩栩如生地描写了土匪、戏子、族人、商贾、官宦、皇室等各色人物的善恶心态。人生的百般磨难，创业的万般艰辛，演绎出大悲大憾的人间悲喜剧。填四川与闯关东、走西口、下南洋是中国移民史上的重大事件。长篇小说《填四川》艺术地讲诉了一个客家母亲和家族悲欢离合的故事，一个复苏泱泱大省的史诗故事，一个小人物成为大英雄的故事。
