"New Seeds in the Wheat Field" tells the story of Lin Xiaonuan, an urban agricultural technician who returns to his hometown due to illness, only to find that his hometown is no longer what he remembered. Land transfer disputes, family estrangements, unspoken friendships between childhood sweethearts, and the secrets buried by the mother before her death - all kinds of entanglements are peeling off the land of Mailiang Village. She returned with modern agricultural technology, but found that she had to contend not only with the dry fields, but also with the intricate clan concepts and worldly practices. When new technology meets old rules, when urban thinking collides with local logic, a story about land, blood and change slowly unfolds in the waves of wheat. This is the growth history of a woman taking root in the countryside, and it is also a vivid picture of the transformation of contemporary China's rural areas.
