In 1996, Lin Yan missed the university entrance exam cutoff by just one point. Giving up the chance to retake the exam, he traveled far to the western village of Wohugou to support rural development by raising fish. Facing ridicule from the villagers, the stagnant waters of a pond known as the 'Graveyard Pond,' and deliberate obstruction, he relied on professional knowledge rather than luck. After keeping watch for seven days, he discovered a mountain spring beneath the pond and tackled the problem through hard work and determination. Armed with knowledge and perseverance, he put down roots in the countryside, determined to turn stagnant water into a thriving pond. Through his youthful passion, he writes an inspiring chapter in the revitalization of rural western China, demonstrating the responsibility and commitment of a new generation.
