The Journey from Dust to Emptiness: a Billionaire CEO Escapes into Emptiness

In 1982, Lin Jianguo, a young man from rural Henan Province, wrote the words "Peking University" under a kerosene lamp. The whole village pooled their money, and Teacher Zhang took out the food stamps he had saved for many years and sent him out of Huangtu Slope. He thought that entering college would change his destiny, but he didn't know that when he was assigned after graduation, he had no choice but to return to the county agricultural machinery factory to repair tractors. Unwilling to give up, he quit his job and went south to Shenzhen alone. From a sweatshop to a cable factory, from a technical apprentice to an industry leader, he has experienced seven business wars, donated tens of millions of dollars to the Wenchuan earthquake, and gone bankrupt due to the epidemic. After making money all his life, he finally had an epiphany at Hongfa Temple: Wealth cannot be taken away, only the words "kindness of heart" can be passed on to future generations. This is a story about struggle and return. The line is the trajectory of life, and the mountain is the destination of the spirit. Forty-four years, I walked from under the kerosene lamp to Beijing, from Shenzhen back to the mountains and forests - one person, one generation, one era.
