"Stars on the Ridge" tells a story about agricultural development and persistence.
Chen Wang, a college student village official, returned to his hometown of Qingxi Village and devoted himself to the development of modern agriculture. He led the villagers to work hard, introducing new technologies and new varieties, such as cultivating "Experimental No. 3" Rice, and trying to make rice cakes and other processed agricultural products. He wanted to lead the villagers to get rich through these methods and help Qingxi Village get rid of poverty and backwardness.
During the development process, they encountered many difficulties. For example, a sudden heavy rain caused the upstream reservoir to release floods. The rice fields in the village were flooded, and the rice seedlings about to be harvested were in danger of being destroyed. Chen Wang led the villagers to fight against the flood, using methods such as mixing straw into sandbags, and finally managed to secure the ridges of the rice fields and save some rice seeds. However, the flood still caused serious damage to the rice fields, and the rice in some rice fields could not be saved. Moreover, the dealer canceled the previously signed supply agreement due to the disaster in the village, which made the reconstruction work of Chen Wang and the villagers even more difficult.
But Chen Wang did not give up. He and the villagers actively carried out post-disaster reconstruction work. With the help of experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, they worked hard to restore rice field production. At the same time, they were also thinking about how to further expand sales channels and markets for agricultural products, and continued to work hard to realize the dream of rural revitalization. In addition, the play also shows the friendship between the villagers who support each other and face difficulties together, as well as their love for the land and yearning for a better life.
