"Rural areas can produce writers, but it is unlikely that they can produce economists." This book is a documentary of how economist Professor Zhang Weiying grew from the soil of rural areas. A mother who respects teachers, a father who loves to plant trees, a middle school teacher who treats students as children, a college classmate who is a protector, an economics enlightenment mentor, a Nobel Prize winner, an anonymous mentor who is both a teacher and a friend... They not only nourish the author's character, but also influence the formation of the author's economic thoughts, allowing us to see the origin of the author's economic essence. "From 'painter' to 'painter'", a primary school classmate who "wanted to be a village director", a friend who wanted to be a scholar but entered the business world, a commune secretary who "becomes an official just to do things", an "atypical official" who is a living dictionary of northern Shaanxi culture, a noodle secretary and a collector of Liu Qing's works... Their growth experiences have also affected the author's thoughts as an economist. This is the growth story of an economist and a portrayal of the economic ecology of an era.
