The Countryside Miracle Doctor: Starting Over After Returning Home in Ruin

Chen Fan, a medical school dropout who was swindled out of his savings while working away from home and left buried in debt, returns home in disgrace to the impoverished village of Kaoshan Tun. His elderly mother is bedridden, the old house leaks when it rains, and he has nowhere to turn to repay his debts. By chance, he touches a broken ancestral jade pendant and awakens the ability to see through things, along with ancient Chinese medical skills. He can see the source of an illness and identify rare wild medicinal herbs. He starts by visiting every home in the village to offer free consultations for minor ailments, then earns his first fortune gathering herbs and treating difficult cases. He repairs his family home and helps improve the lives of his friends and relatives. When thugs show up to cause trouble out of jealousy and county-town medicine dealers conspire to force down his prices, Chen Fan uses his medical expertise and access to medicinal herbs to overcome each crisis. He goes on to open a rural clinic and establish his own medicinal herb cultivation base. Along the way, he befriends the village hospital director and the owner of a major pharmaceutical company. Building a foothold in the countryside and growing his business from the ground up, he rises from an impoverished young man returning to his hometown with nothing to become an industrial magnate who leads the entire township to prosperity.
