With live pig prices soaring, Lin Wan, a university student who returned to her hometown to study agriculture, foresaw the risks and decided to clear her pig pens and sell her livestock while prices were high, securing her profits. Instead, the villagers of Changle Village mocked her as a money-losing fool. Liu Futang, the village's leading pig farmer, stubbornly trusted outdated experience and urged everyone to keep their pigs in their pens, betting on even higher prices. He encouraged villagers to buy feed on credit, take on leveraged risks, and even slaughtered pigs illegally to livestream the sale of uninspected pork. Blinded by dreams of sudden wealth, the villagers ignored disease prevention warnings.
