In the late autumn of 1966, Lin Wanxing, a junior at Jiangcheng Agriculture and Forestry University, traveled through time and space in a subway accident. When he woke up, he found that he had become the most unpopular "broken shoe" in Hongqi Commune - abandoned by his family, spurned by the whole village, and with nothing.
But she didn't come alone. In the portable space, an acre of fertile land, a spiritual spring, a house of modern books and seeds are her only weapons in desperate situations. After struggling out of the quagmire of being framed, she contracted a marriage with Gu Yanchen, a "gangster" who was also framed, and used modern agricultural knowledge to grow high-yielding sweet potatoes in her backyard that shocked the whole village.
From "Starlight No. 1" To "Starlight No. 20", From the Three-Point Experimental Field to a multinational agricultural group, from the tattered shoes that everyone yelled at to become a nationally renowned agricultural scientist - Lin Wanxing spent half a century making a seed grow into a forest. She experienced the ups and downs of the Cultural Revolution, the wave of reform and opening up, and the ups and downs of the business world, and also gained a lifelong love and sensible and outstanding children.
This is a story about a woman blooming from dust, and it is also a hymn about knowledge, faith and inheritance. "The seeds don't care about the soil, they just take root." - When a person has the knowledge to change the world, he can grow into a towering tree even if he is stepped into the deepest mud.
Open this book and see how a seed changes the world and how a woman lives to be her own light.
