Traveling Back to the Difficult Years: Relying on Knowledge to Make a Full Meal

Lin Mo, a modern ordinary person, accidentally traveled to 1961 during difficult times and became an orphan girl in the Hongqi Production Brigade. Faced with the desperate situation of being short of food and relying on the weather for food, she relied on the "knowledge notebook" she carried with her to use scientific planting to break the traditional farming thinking - improving seeds, promoting mulching, and engaging in joint planting, doubling the yield of winter wheat per mu, and exceeding 400 kilograms of corn, leading the members to solve the problem of food and clothing first. Not content with growing grain, Lin Mo also tapped into the potential of side businesses: from sweet potato vermicelli and mung bean cakes to handmade cloth baskets, he created the "Red Flag Goods" brand, opened up black market and supply and marketing cooperative channels, and even linked up with educated youth to build urban and rural sales networks; he transformed barren slopes into orchards, built greenhouses to grow vegetables, and engaged in deep processing of dried fruits and cans, forming a "planting-processing-sales" industrial chain, allowing the brigade's income to rise year by year. In the process, she resolved floods and droughts, promoted the joint disaster response of the six brigades, took the lead in school-enterprise cooperation to improve fruit tree varieties, and conducted winter training classes to cultivate technical backbones. From the questioned "outsider" to the "backbone" trusted by everyone, Lin Mo empowered the land with knowledge and gathered strength through unity. In special times, he not only made the Red Flag Brigade a model for the commune, but also made the belief that "you can eat well and live a good life with your hands and wisdom" rooted in the hearts of every struggler.
