Deep in the hills of southern Shandong lies Linjiawa Village. Lin Chen, a young man from humble roots, lost his parents early and grew up depending on his grandmother. After dropping out of high school and returning home, all he wanted was to tend a few meager fields and live in peace. But the village tyrant, Wang Laohu, bullied him, wrecked his crops, and knocked down his grandmother. Pushed past his limits, Lin Chen unearthed a mysterious old farming journal left behind by his father. The farming techniques recorded in it were far ahead of their time, and they lit the first spark of his comeback.
His enterprise grew from securing his own livelihood to leading the whole village to prosperity, from becoming a county-level industry leader to building a nationally renowned agricultural brand. At last, his ambitions rose to a new level: he joined the Spring Sunshine Initiative to give back to his hometown and founded the Mountain and Sea Alliance to defend the security of the nation's agricultural industry. Once a country youth anyone could bully, he became a respected “New Era Worthy of the Countryside” and a nationally recognized leader in rural revitalization. Over twenty years, he nurtured a tiny seed into a towering forest that sheltered an entire region.
This is an epic about the land, hard work, and hope. Here you will find the simple warmth of rural life, fierce business rivalries, heartfelt human bonds, and a deep love for home and country. See how Lin Wangqiu takes his homeland as his canvas and wisdom as his brush, writing a legendary life from the fields to the summit, brimming with triumphant moments, tears, and inspiration.
