"He Who Saves Himself" is based on the spirit of Doudou's classic "The Distant Savior" and continues Ding Yuanying's ten-year journey since his return to the world in 2015. This time, he no longer deconstructs cultural attributes as a bystander, but gets involved and upgrades the "Wangmiao Village Model" into a replicable "Social Enterprise Village" system - activating dormant resources with the separation of three land rights, reconstructing rural governance with a points shareholding system, opening up the value chain with the integration of the sixth industry, and empowering traditional rural areas with blockchain and AI technology.
The book not only contains the thrilling game with capital, but also the desperate survival under the impact of the epidemic; it not only shows the collision between the national strategy of rural revitalization and local practice, but also the soul awakening of farmers from "passive recipient" to "subject creation". Through the ups and downs of narratives such as learning from Youxiqiao Village, the Western Pilot, and the Southern Alliance, the work profoundly explains the three laws of social enterprise economics such as "quantifiable social benefits are capital" and answers the unfinished question of "how cultural attributes can break the situation."
This is not a utopian ideal, but a practical guide with an earthy feel. From the point-based revolution to digital governance, from intergenerational inheritance to global perspective, the ten years of transformation of Wangmiao Village have witnessed a feasible path for the "endogenous revitalization" of China's rural areas.
If you have thought about the fate of culture in "The Distant Savior", this book will take you to witness the actions after awakening; if you are concerned about the future of rural China, here is a profound answer to "system innovation activates cultural genes". Although the savior is far away, the one who saves himself is saved by heaven - this sequel makes Ding Yuanying truly become the light that illuminates reality.
