Lin Wan, a poverty alleviation technician who graduated from an agricultural university, encountered an accident while going to the countryside in a mountainous area. Once she traveled to the remote and barren Qingxi Village in the Dajing Dynasty, she became an orphan whose parents died and was mistreated and exploited by her relatives.
Coinciding with successive years of severe drought, the land was hardened and barren, and famine spread in the village. The original owner was left to die in a dilapidated thatched hut by his cruel uncle and his family. In a desperate situation, Lin Wan cut off the family entanglements and decided to make a living in the wasteland by relying on her agricultural skills with her only orphan girl Ahe.
She abandoned the backward and extensive farming methods, used compost to amend the soil, built canals to divert water, and selected improved seeds. She used farming techniques adapted to ancient conditions to grow food in wasteland that had no harvest every year. She improved farm tools, grass and insect control, and the planting and breeding cycle, step by step to solve the problem of food and clothing for the villagers.
From cultivating wasteland and bringing goods to markets to develop side businesses, to reorganizing villages, building infrastructure, and opening schools and medical stations to accommodate refugees, Lin Wan led a group of villagers to transform the remote and remote areas that everyone avoided into a livable and fertile land with a radius of hundreds of miles, prosperity, and stability.
