1970s: Abandon the Iron Rice Bowl, Stock Up Space & Settle Rural

1970s: Abandon the Iron Rice Bowl, Stock Up Space & Settle Rural Plot:

In the late 1970s, Lin Xiulian, a state textile factory worker, quit her coveted "iron rice bowl" against her entire family's objections. She secretly activated her ancestral portable space, stocked it with abundant grain, oil, daily necessities and hardware supplies, then signed up for rural reclamation. Villagers mocked her for being foolish, commune officials were confused by her choice, unaware her space held massive resources to transform her life in the poor countryside. With pre-stocked goods, she lived stably, secretly helped struggling villagers, traded rare items for convenience, but also drew others' covetous eyes, kicking off a story about space secrets in 1970s rural China.
