Gu Changshan adopted Xingjie, the son of his partner who died in the line of duty. After hesitation, the Gu family finally decided to allow Xingjie to continue studying outside.

The laid-off crisis also ended with some young people taking the lead in leaving. Those who stayed behind, under the leadership of Gu Changshan, set up a "family ecological forest" to temporarily solve the livelihood crisis. In 2007, in order to protect the ecology and improve people's livelihood, the resettlement project in remote mountainous and forested areas began, and the 923 Work Team once again faced the issue of "going out".
