Long before, "the early bird catches the worm" was a phrase typically used to describe merchants.
But as the era raced forward, people's hearts grew more restless, and the smell of money permeated every corner of society.
Over time, looking ahead was replaced by looking to money.
Almost everyone put interests first when doing anything.
Take the small Taoyuan Village, for example.
When the production team disbanded and the village committee was established, people generally ran for village official positions to get things done.
Back then, every household was poor, but that poverty bound them together like a rope, jointly building their homeland, and striving for a better life.
In that era of poverty, everyone was full of vigor; neighbors were like one big family, with a calm mentality and positive energy.
But by this time, those beautiful things seemed to have vanished unnoticed.
