Abandoned by her husband, Yu'e returned to a poor village with two children and her paralyzed father. Her life had once been mired in misery.
But she didn't break. She raised pigs and fed chickens, working through manure and injuries, kneading hardship into the yellow earth.
It turned out no one needed someone else to hold them up. The resilience to take root in the soil and hands callused from hard work could hold up the sky on their own.
This is the story of a woman who turned hardship into nourishment and took root and grew in the face of despair.
