Synopsis

At 33, unemployed and heartbroken, I fled back to my family's old courtyard in the Dabie Mountains, clutching my grandfather's copper key. In the attic, I found a jar of old red rice, sealed away for three years. It was a rare variety my grandfather had spent his whole life protecting.

I set up my phone and casually livestreamed myself drying the seeds. To my surprise, someone among the eight viewers ordered five jin in advance! But as a complete beginner, I couldn't even figure out the germination rate, and the villagers laughed that a city boy like me couldn't handle hard work.

Luckily, Uncle Wang gave me plastic sheeting to keep off the rain, Aunt Zhang taught me to make corn cakes to attract followers, and Lin Xiaoyu, a top agricultural university graduate, showed up with technical expertise. Even the old man who guarded the mountain passed on an old method of using wood ash to keep the seeds warm.

While I livestreamed soaking and sprouting the seeds, my fans chipped in to buy grow lights. When pests broke out, viewers suggested garlic water to keep them away. An investor threw money at me to scale up and plant hybrid rice, but I shouted at the camera, "The roots of the old varieties are right here. I'm not switching!"

From four mu of fields to a cooperative, from rice cakes to vermicelli, my livestream viewers begged through tears for more orders, and the village's poor households started making a fortune alongside me.

But can this bag of old seeds survive the mountains' low temperatures? Can ecological farming beat industrial-scale production?

Click in and discover the most heartwarming story of a comeback, rising from the smoke curling above an old courtyard!
