Back to the 1960s: From Surviving to Factory Boss

Back to the 1960s: From Surviving to Factory Boss Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, a modern overworked office worker, dies from overtime and wakes up in 1962 as a 16-year-old girl in a poor mountain village—she was almost drowned by a village bully for a sweet potato. Facing her family’s starvation, she uses modern agricultural knowledge to grow hybrid rice and sells homemade pickles in the county at night, only to be caught by the supply cooperative director for “speculation.” Just then, veteran Chen Jianguo steps in to help—he’s looking for someone “capable” to build a food factory. From mutual wariness to working together, Lin revives the factory with her “modern ideas,” but rivals frame her as a “capitalist element.” Chen takes the blame and gets suspended. Lin bets everything on her first batch of canned food, winning a provincial supply order. She clears her name, turns the small factory into the county’s top enterprise, and goes from struggling to eat to a respected factory boss. And their relationship? It quietly blooms amid all the storms.
