Down-to-Country Era: Diligence Is My Faith

In 1975, city girl Wei Linru was forced to settle in Kaoshan Tun, a poor mountain village. She’d barely arrived when the village bully stole her only cornmeal; fellow educated youths mocked her, saying “Your soft skin won’t survive the winter”; even her landlady advised her, “Just marry a local guy and accept fate.” But she clung to one belief: “Diligence pays off.” She tilled the back mountain before dawn, secretly learned to raise angora rabbits from the old farmer, and even rummaged through scrap yards for agricultural books to read late into the night. When her rabbit herd grew to hundreds and her apple trees bore their first basket of sweet fruit, those who once looked down on her came begging for tips—even Zhang Haonan, the educated youth who’d always been cold to her, offered to help build her rabbit shed. But just as she planned to lead the village in collective breeding, the bully set fire to her rabbit house, sneering, “A golden phoenix doesn’t belong in a poor nest.” Can Wei Linru’s diligence survive this devastating blow?
