I Come from the Microscope in the Wheat Fields of Shankaka

In the 1980s, in Linjiawan Village, a girl, Lin Maimai, grew up in a barren but warm mountain village. Witnessing the simple life of villagers helping each other to harvest wheat and telling stories in the cool air on summer nights, she came up with the dream of "going out of the mountains". On her way to school, she went through many hardships: the village elementary school had no electric lights, the town junior high school was ridiculed as "rustic", and the county high school ate cold steamed buns because of poverty. But the encouragement from her mentor, Teacher Chen, and senior sister Zhou Chunmei made her persevere. Before Zhou Chunmei was forced to drop out of school and get married, she gave her notes: "Keep studying for me." During college, Lin Xiaomai encountered discrimination in the laboratory, but he rose to prominence after discovering the special ingredients of the soil in his hometown. She insisted on returning to the village to teach during winter and summer vacations, using bamboo tubes and mud to make homemade teaching aids to lead children to explore science. After the media exposure, public opinion was in an uproar. Some people questioned "rural people engage in scientific research", while others were moved. After graduating with a doctorate, she gave up her high salary and returned to her hometown with the "Rural Science and Technology Innovation Plan". The former "silly boy" Zhang Shitou became a teaching assistant. The stubborn grandfather donated his collection of agricultural books, and friends Li Mengqi and Liu Ming from the city brought resources. The former "Shankaka" built laboratories and e-commerce platforms and became a "technology demonstration village". At the end, Lin Maimai stood on the playground where the drone was launched, watching the children chasing the light and shadow, and said softly: "This is just the beginning." - Knowledge changes destiny, and roots determine the destination of the soul.
