One Mugwort Back, Half a Lifetime Will
With a single phrase from his mother, 'The belly cannot be moxibusted,' Ran Huaizhi remembered it for five years. When his father fell critically ill with a severe white lung disease, he saved his father by moxibusting his back, vowing to make mugwort that his mother could use, and returned to his hometown to found 'Wanran Mugwort.' Eight years later, when the brand grew large, his apprentice Zheng Qiang brought competing products to steal goods, spread rumors, poach technicians and farmers, and counterfeit goods filled the skies. His wife sold their house to pay wages, and his daughter cried on the ridge saying she did not want him to collapse. Refusing to adulterate or lower prices, he signed guaranteed-minimum contracts to invite the farmers back, live-streamed physical ledgers to show the truth, and had his father lift his shirt to expose the moxibustion scars on his back as proof. Zheng Qiang was sent to court, the family returned to the mugwort fields, and they passed down the motto, 'Mugwort must be aged three years, words must be one-tenth real.'

Dengan satu ungkapan daripada ibunya, 'Perut tidak boleh dimoksibusi,' Ran Huaizhi mengingatinya selama lima tahun. Ketika bapanya jatuh sakit kritikal akibat penyakit paru-paru putih, dia menyelamatkan bapanya dengan moksibusi pada bahagian belakang, bersumpah untuk menghasilkan mugwort yang boleh digunakan oleh ibunya, lalu kembali ke kampung halaman untuk menubuhkan 'Wanran Mugwort.' Lapan tahun kemudian, apabila jenama itu berkembang besar, anak muridnya Zheng Qiang membawa produk pesaing untuk mencuri barangan, menyebarkan khabar angin, memancing juruteknik dan petani, serta barangan tiruan berleluasa. Isterinya menjual rumah untuk membayar gaji, dan anak perempuannya menangis di batas sawah mengatakan dia tidak mahu bapanya rebah. Tanpa mencampuradukkan atau menurunkan harga, dia menandatangani kontrak jaminan minimum untuk memanggil semula para petani, menunjukkan lejar fizikal secara langsung, dan meminta bapanya menyelak baju di khalayak ramai untuk mendedahkan kesan moksibusi di belakangnya sebagai bukti. Zheng Qiang dibawa ke mahkamah, keluarganya kembali berdiri di ladang mugwort, dan meneruskan kata-kata hikmah, 'Mugwort mesti berusia tiga tahun, kata-kata mesti satu bahagian benar.'
