【Period setting + beloved little darling + industrial prosperity + heartwarming ensemble cast + hard-core wish fulfillment】 A bit of a tearjerker, so be careful not to read it while eating, or your tears might end up in your food... Five-and-a-half-year-old Yaya is a little orphan nobody wants. Her greatest wish is to have a warm meal every day and not be abandoned. The villagers of Kaoshan Brigade feel sorry for her. Today one family gives her half a pancake, tomorrow another gives her a bowl of porridge. Somehow, they manage to raise the little girl. To repay their kindness, Yaya sets her sights on the village's scrap metal. Grandma Zhou's eyes are strained from sewing? Yaya tinkers around and builds the village's first electric light. Her uncle is exhausted from watering the fields? Yaya repairs the broken water pump. The villagers can't afford meat? Yaya teams up with Lin, a young intellectual sent down to the countryside, and hand-builds a micro hydropower station deep in the mountains! Little Yaya wipes away her tears, then uses a charred stick to draw a strange mechanical blueprint on the earthen wall. The neighboring brigade sneers, “A five-year-old little girl...” Everyone in the brigade stands up for her: “Whatever Yaya draws, we'll build! We'll sell the pots and pans if we have to. We won't let our girl suffer!” ...The whole village rolls up its sleeves and gets to work! When the first incandescent bulb lights up the night in the rundown brigade office, villagers young and old are moved to tears! Then The grain mill starts up! It grinds half a month's grain in one night, and villagers from the neighboring brigade line up with eggs to ask for electricity; The water pump is running! Water from a deep ravine is pumped up to the mountaintop, and barren hills turn into tens of thousands of mu of fertile fields in an instant! The provincial experts are furious! They came to correct her mistakes, only to discover that this five-year-old cutie has solved a major national research problem! 【Back then, the whole village raised me by saving every mouthful of thin porridge. Today, I'll travel across this land on my own two feet and light up the entire mountain for you!】
