A 20-episode period rebirth short drama, Reborn 82: I Refuse The Iron Rice Bowl And Go Farm, tells the story of retired worker Lin Jianguo, who after passing away with deep regrets, is reborn back to the crossroads of life in 1982. Withstanding opposition from his whole family, he gives up the envious iron rice bowl of the machinery plant, and relying on memories of future generations, grows out-of-season vegetables and engages in agricultural sideline distribution, stepping by stepping starting a business and getting rich. Facing repeated sabotage and framing by Zhang Aimin, Lin Jianguo calmly resolves and slaps the villains in the face, also gradually touching his mother and fiancee Li Xiulan, and finally contracting barren mountains to pioneer his career, making up for the regrets of his previous life, protecting his family and living out a brand new life.
