In the early 1980s, rural youth Xu Jianjun failed in his business venture. Hunted by creditors and humiliated by his in-laws, everyone believed he would never rise again. In dire straits, he spotted a golden business opportunity in the unwanted river snails lying in ditch mud. Relying on a wok of spicy stir-fried river snails, transforming them from foul-smelling to fragrant, from food nobody dared to touch to a night-market sensation, he step by step turned a petty ditch-mud trade into a path of prosperity for the whole village. After making a fortune, Xu Jianjun didn't just care for his own wealth; he established a cooperative, leading villagers to harvest, breed, and share profits so every neighbor could earn a living with their own hands. He always believed that true turnaround is not about getting rich alone, but lifting everyone up so the whole village has a bright future.
