The Ziwei Star of the Central Heavens fell in Bashan and became Longlong, a poor farm girl. Born in a humble home and raised in the countryside, she endured hardship from an early age, yet was born clever and compassionate. A reclusive old scholar taught her everything he knew. Despite her poverty, she held fast to her desire to study, determined to change her hometown and benefit her neighbors, and step by step she made her way out of the mountains.
From a private school in Bashan to schools in Yuzhou, and then to the top institutions of the capital, she endured criticism and hardship at every turn. She also faced the temptations of fame and fortune and the tests of human nature, yet she always held to integrity and benevolence. Her learning astonished the world, her virtue dispelled resentment, and she broke down the barriers between the arts and sciences, uniting traditional wisdom with modern knowledge.
After completing her studies, she turned down the splendor of the capital and resolutely returned home. She established schools, built roads through the mountains, and promoted industry to strengthen the nation. Devoting her life to uprooting the causes of poverty in Bashan, she breathed new life into remote mountain villages and ultimately fulfilled her heavenly calling to serve the world and bring peace to its people.
A mortal body, entrusted with the mandate of a celestial star; half a lifetime of devotion, bringing peace and prosperity to her homeland. This is the legend of Ziwei's descent to the mortal world and her trials among ordinary people. It is also a long song of humanity about staying true to one's original purpose and serving the world with kindness, capturing both the resolve of the poor who strive to better themselves and the warmth of a benevolent heart devoted to helping others.
