Everyone thought that Lu Xiuyuan would only be a minor at most in his life.
He is the son of a maintenance worker at a fertilizer plant. He has no background and no connections. As a selected student, he was assigned to Yunling Township, the most remote town in the province. On the day he reported for duty, he carried a bedding made from a fertilizer bag and walked along a 40-mile dirt road. The yellow dog in the township government compound lay at the door and glanced at him without raising his eyelids.
But Lu Xiuyuan remembered one sentence - his strength is his own, and so is his ability.
He went to the village that others would not go to because it was too hard. He did the work that others didn't want to do. He squatted on the ridge of the field and ate cold steamed buns with the farmers. He discovered wild pepper trees in Shibanyan Village. The industrial plan he wrote out after staying up all night became a model for the county. On the day when the project funds were approved, he went up the mountain with the villagers to dig a reservoir with a shovel on his shoulder. He shoveled one shovel after another in the gravel field, digging from morning to dusk.
He has rescued disasters, endured thunder, blocked wine for leaders, and spoken for the people. Three years in the township, five years in the county, and ten years in the city, he went from the bottom to the top step by step.
