Back to the Village to Farm: Starting with Growing Vegetables

Unemployed, divorced, and terminally ill with cancer, Yang Le took his daughter back to the village to settle his affairs and prepare for the end. Little did he know that his daughter would give him a chance to change his fate and reach the heavens. He started by growing choy sum, watering the vegetables and lychee trees with water from the Jade Pool, and raising fish, chickens, ducks, and geese. From then on, there was no stopping him. He became the divorced man who returned to the village, living the life everyone envied! Dozens of acres of fruit trees, a mountain pond, and a few vegetable plots. Then came sparrows, snakes, eagles, weasels, honeybees, and hornets... Even a zoo wasn’t this lively. Whenever he had time, Yang Le practiced tai chi and welcomed the steady stream of visitors. When he was free, he went into the Jade Pool to see the fairies, wondering which one would appear next. Life moved at an easy pace. Yang Le said this was his life: a laid-back existence growing crops in his hometown!
