Also known as From the Start of the Famine at Age Ten, I Bound a Super Farm.
If you enjoy slow-paced stories that unfold gently over time, sit back and take your time reading.
Packed with details of life in and around the village, human warmth and coldness, and everyday home comforts.

Yang Jianshe opened his eyes and found himself a ten-year-old boy in a northern Chinese village in 1959, with the same name as his own.
The famine winds had reached the edge of the village, and his family was about to run out of food.

He was much too busy.
Busy tending to the Super Farm that had appeared out of nowhere in his mind,
busy sneaking the crops as they ripened into his family's rice jar,
busy helping his family move from eating wild greens to having enough to eat.
