Gold in the Wilds

After being laid off in a major city, Lin Mo returned, exhausted, to his hometown in the mountains.

As soon as he arrived in the village, his greedy uncle teamed up with local thugs to seize the century-old orchard his grandfather had left behind. His grandmother was hospitalized with a sudden illness, and the family had no savings. In this desperate moment, he unexpectedly awakened the ability to empathize with living things. With a touch of his fingertips, he could sense the ailments and vitality of plants, trees, livestock, and poultry.

Starting by saving a grove of dying old fruit trees, Lin Mo raised chickens beneath the forest canopy, improved traditional varieties, and opened up urban markets. Step by step, he brought the abandoned countryside back to life.

Local distributors blacklisted him, outside investors closed in, and foreign seed companies tried to choke him out. One challenge after another came his way.

Relying on his gift of perception, Lin Mo broke through every obstacle and turned a poor mountain village into a model of rural revitalization. He protected the mountains passed down by his ancestors and cultivated a golden, prosperous life.
