Agriculture student Lin Wanzhou transmigrates to 1960, during the worst of the famine, and becomes a dying boy in a group of refugees. After awakening the [Seeds of Civilization System], he uses his modern agricultural knowledge to lead his desperate fellow villagers in putting down roots on the wasteland.
From identifying wild vegetables and improving the soil to growing drought-resistant crops; from abandoned cave dwellings to building their own water and power systems, school, and clinic. He brings scientific farming, water conservancy, medical care, and education to this desperately poor village, transforming “New Life Village” from a place with nothing into a model of prosperity and civilization.
Crop yields double, biogas brings electricity, cooperative healthcare takes shape, and village-run factories open... Every step Lin Wanzhou takes follows the pulse of the times. When New Life Village’s granaries overflow and its lights switch on, county inspections and provincial commendations soon follow. Eventually, the village even draws attention from the capital and becomes the “New Life Village Plan,” influencing national agricultural policy.
This is a story of turning barren land into farmland through knowledge and hard work in the face of desperation. It is also an epic of struggle: a village, its people, and a nation reignite hope amid hardship, moving from survival to adequate food and clothing, and finally to contributing to the country.
