Under the Wheat Waves

As a young man, I returned to my hometown and watched the wheat waves for thirty years. Five-year-old Lin Dong was smuggled back to Maixiang Village in North China by his parents. On the barren land, the stubborn father holds back his anger over the unfair distribution of land, and the strong mother supports the family. The undercurrent of the family is intertwined with the warmth and warmth of the neighborhood. The times are rushing forward: his sister Lin Wei dropped out of school to go south for him, and his father switched from harvesting wheat with sickles to vegetables in greenhouses. The third uncle who was addicted to gambling broke up, the shrewd fourth uncle took advantage of the subsidy loopholes, and the countryside was torn apart by the changes. In 2009, Lin Dong, who graduated from university, resolutely returned to his hometown and took up the banner of e-commerce. The fourth uncle who reported the illegal act witnessed the third uncle's awakening. He integrated the left-behind forces and launched the "Maixiang Village" brand. My sister studied hard and became a village lamplighter. From sickles to drones, two generations have taken advantage of the spring breeze of reform to resolve family grievances and promote science and technology to revitalize agriculture. When the harvest festival songs resound across the fields, the grudges dissipate in the fragrance of wheat - the roots are deeply rooted, the hearts are united, and the wheat ears of hope become more abundant each time. This is an epic about the transformation of Chinese rural areas about land, struggle and reconciliation.
