The cooperative that Su Jianguo painstakingly established was seized through a scheme orchestrated by his fellow villager Chen Defa, forcing him to leave with nothing. Penniless, he used the initial capital pooled together by two fellow villagers to establish himself on barren riverbank land. He made a living by digging for wild vegetables and cultivating premium watermelons in sandy soil. Through rural livestreaming, he opened up new sales channels. Later, he turned his attention to cultivating high-end tomatoes on barren hillsides, establishing a traceability system and defeating his rival's malicious competition. Bringing the villagers together, he founded a cooperative and transformed the barren hills into a distinctive agricultural industrial park.
