After graduating from college, Chen Feiyue struggled to find a job and returned to his hometown to start a different kind of life. He plows the fields with an ox, tends a few plots of land, and, when he gets tired, gathers a few wild duck eggs, sips some homemade liquor, and counts his goats. On rainy days, he puts on a bamboo hat and a green straw raincoat, becoming a carefree fisherman who spends his days in peace.
