Qingxi youth Shen Yan, to guard the jade craftsman reputation left by his grandfather and the village's jade vein, hid his edge for ten years, and even when regarded as a 'fool' did not argue. A He, from delivering meals to learning to recognize materials, accompanied him to endure cold glances into trust. Facing past events and doubts, Shen Yan relied on his skill in jade identification to break the deadlock in public, set up the Qingxi Jade Workshop, took apprentices and taught skills, letting the old pit jade vein return to the village collective. What the village guardian guards is not just the village, but also craftsmanship and conscience.
