Chen Yang worked as a programmer in an Internet company in a first-tier city for five years. Every day, he was coerced by 996, performance KPIs, and Party A's unreasonable demands. He became what his colleagues called a "breathing code machine." After staying up all night to correct a bug, he looked at the white sky outside the window and suddenly got tired of this life of "exchanging time for scraps of money, and then using scraps of silver to buy fatigue." With only 30,000 yuan in savings and an old computer, he submitted his resignation letter and returned to his hometown in the rural area of eastern Henan after many years of absence.
The people in the village thought he was crazy--he gave up his "respectable job" in the city and came back to feed his old age. However, Chen Yang set up a table in his old house, registered a game companion account, and decided to make money by playing games. From being criticized by relatives and neighbors, to becoming famous on the platform with the help of national server operation and humorous words; from parents' incomprehensible objections, to leading villagers to start a side business of "farm leisure e-sports"; from being ridiculed by peers that "rural people are not worthy of e-sports." , To using his unique "pastoral live broadcast style" to carve out a niche... Chen Yang not only lived his own rhythm next to the cornfield, but also unexpectedly connected the gaps between the city and the countryside, proving that a life of "not being a cow or horse" may not be unable to take root.
