I Planted a World Tree in Qinglan Mountain

Lin Mo, a 25-year-old master of plant ecology, could not find a suitable job after graduation. He had no choice but to return to Baishi Village in Qinglan County and take over a barren mountain that had been destroyed for many years by quarries, fast-growing forests and failed development projects. Just when everyone thought that he had been studying for many years and finally came back to plant trees, Lin Mo bound the "Ecological World Tree System". Life observation, soil restoration, ecological simulation, life network... What the system gave him was not the power to destroy the world, but to see why a seed could not germinate, and how a tree lived together with soil, fungi, insects, and water flow. He planted the World Tree. Streams, wild flowers, insects, and bird songs began to appear in the barren mountains. From the initial ridicule, the villagers gradually participated in mountain patrols, seedling cultivation, natural education and ecological industries. However, as Qinglan Mountain recovered, problems ensued. Commercial development wanted to replicate the miracle here, research institutions tried to explain the World Tree, villagers argued over jobs and profits, and Lin Mo, in his eagerness to restore the ecology, personally caused the death of native plants. He finally understood: The World Tree can enhance life, but it cannot decide for the land what life should be like. The true recovery of a mountain does not depend on how strong a person is, but on whether there are still people here who are willing to keep the water, trees, rules and trust between them after he leaves. This is the story of a master of botany planting trees, managing barren hills, restoring the ecology in his hometown, and rediscovering the value of life.
