Chen Zi'ang, a top agricultural scientist, is reborn in 1985 after an accident during an extraterrestrial seed-breeding experiment, bringing a head full of future technology with him. He is nineteen that year, living in a bare-walled home, with a father bedridden after an industrial injury and debts piling up. Faced with the winds of reform and barren land, Chen Zi'ang doesn't choose to go into business. Instead, he makes a decision no one understands: he leases a desolate mountain to practice scientific farming. He uses biological improvement techniques to grow golden rice in saline-alkali soil, soilless cultivation to build a vegetable kingdom in the Gobi Desert, and a self-designed ecological recycling System to transform a poor mountain village into the world-famous “Peach Blossom Spring.” From putting food on one family's table, to leading an entire industry, to influencing a nation's food strategy, Chen Zi'ang uses his own hands to turn barren land into fields of hope. On the land he once loved, he ushers in a new and magnificent golden age.
