When the hustle and bustle of the city drowned out ingenuity, and when the beauty of the mountains was hidden in the deep alleys, young Li Yang returned to his hometown with confusion. Using a mobile phone as the lens and his original intention as the background, he embarked on the road of rural entrepreneurship and inheritance of old craftsmanship. From being at a loss after the layoffs of state-owned enterprises, to taking root in Qingxi Village to promote original ecological specialties; from encountering traffic bottlenecks in difficult explorations, to unlocking a new track of rural seasons and intangible cultural heritage skills; from accidentally recording Grandma Li's handmade cloth shoes, to making old crafts unexpectedly popular and reborn, Li Yang used persistence and innovation to break the barriers between the mountains and the outside world. The book not only contains the sweetness and perseverance of rural entrepreneurship - formulating standards for agricultural products, solving traffic difficulties, and docking orders and shipping, every step is soaked in sweat and love; it also contains the warmth and touch of the world of fireworks - the simple villagers, persevering old artists, every stitch of ingenuity, and every word and deed of kindness, piece together the most touching rural picture. This is not only a growth story of a young man returning to his hometown to start a business, but also a journey of rebirth of an old craft and an affectionate record of rural fireworks. It tells us that there are infinite possibilities hidden in ordinary days. The ingenuity accumulated by time and the beauty hidden in the mountains will eventually shine with their own light through the east wind of the times.
