Reborn in 1972, I became a devolved person living in a cowshed.
My little sister was so hungry that she picked grasshoppers out of cornmeal to eat. The director of the Revolutionary Committee forced me to sign a confession.
I sown the first handful of hybrid rice seeds on the barren salt-alkali flats.
The whole village laughed: "Is this nerd crazy? Can crops grow on saline-alkali land?"
Until the heavy ears of rice crushed the field ridges, the provincial jeeps drove into the village one after another.
Director Zhao held the red-headed document, his hands shaking like chaff:
"Comrade Xu, Xu Qingshan... Your rice seed yield of 800 kilograms per acre has alarmed Beijing!"
At this moment, I was looking at the blood-stained notes left by my mother.
On the last page, it says:
"The person who harmed me is Zhao Yongge. The real murderer is..."
In this life, I want my family to eat enough white rice.
We also want those murderers hiding in the shadows to kneel before their mother's grave.

There is no logic, no thought, why do you have to fight in other people's circles, don't report it, don't mobilize the masses?
