Soul of soil

The passionate young man Ah Ren resolutely gave up his golden rice bowl in Hsinchu Science Park and vowed to turn the huge amount of vegetable scraps and fruit peels in the city into soft and fragrant fertile soil; the almost hearing-impaired An He insisted on not using pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and opened the orchard to a paradise for insects and flies, forming a natural cycle of restoration of the ecosystem. Facing the same soil disease, two farmers, one young and one old, one active and one quiet, each tried a way to revive the dead soil, and also encountered different ideals and realities. The new work of "No Rice Music" director Yan Lanquan not only pleads for the soil, but also sublimates farming from labor to philosophy through vivid character comparisons.
