Lin Cheng'an graduated from Beijing Normal University with a bachelor's degree. He took the teacher qualification exam three times: the first time he mixed up the exam venue, the second time he got the time wrong, and the third time he forgot to register. In a fit of frustration, he returned to Wukeshu to work in logging.
Wen Zhiyi graduated from the Forestry University with a bachelor's degree. When she submitted her resume, she accidentally selected Wukeshu Forest Farm as an extra option, and it was the only place that hired her.
Two equally unlucky people went round and round, only to end up back in Wukeshu.
"What are you staring at? You can't even send a resume to the right place."
"Quit yapping. You can't even remember to register, so what are you giving me a hard time for?"
A logging ban plunged the Greater Khingan Range into silence and left the people of Wukeshu at a loss. Some left, while others took up farming. But the steady stream of guesthouse posts on online forums gave four young people an idea: If other forest farms can make it work, why can't we?
"Babe, have you never thought about going back to Beijing and redeeming yourself after those three failures?"
"Nope. What would I go back for, to suffer? Here, I've got trees, mountains, rivers and clouds, and Wen Zhiyi."
The sparks between them nearly blew Wukeshu to pieces. Their romance was sweet and hilarious. Xia Xingxian wailed eight hundred times a day, while Zhang Runhan used Xia Xingxian to rack up KPI points every day.
A vast land cannot give rise to narrow love, and the work songs of the forest region can ring with passion, too. The logging ban did not close off the road ahead. It was bringing this sea of forests toward a better future.
The people of Wukeshu never chase celebrities. The people of Wukeshu are the all-star cast. So roll up your bedding and come to Wukeshu to see all the talented stars in this little village.

There are many swear words in the book, which I added intentionally because people in rural Northeast China really don't speak politely. The book uses the 2014 logging ban in the Greater Khingan Mountains as a starting point to tell the daily lives and family stories of the people in the forest town of Wukeshu.
