Old Mo, eating fish in a courtyard house, reigning supreme in Hong Kong.

Without any supervision or direction, this group of young Chinese people from the 1970s, relying on their inherent simplicity, self-discipline, and diligence, spontaneously started a brand new life in their hometown.

Two million couples came from all over the country, their regional accents from the north and south blending together. The simplicity and diligence of the countryside, the rigor and pragmatism of the factories, and the politeness and ambition of the educated youth all converged to form the purest Chinese spirit.

Everyone spontaneously abides by the rules, refrains from fighting, grabbing, or being greedy, and begins their new life in an orderly manner.

The first thing to do is settle down and deal with the mundane details of settling in.

Every couple was carefully tidying up their new home. The wives, who came from rural backgrounds, were particularly meticulous, taking out clean clothes and simple bedding they had brought with them, and carefully making the beds, folding the blankets, wiping the house, and sweeping the yard.

Throughout their lives, they have been thrifty and hardworking, skilled at tidying up and managing their households. They could keep even the simplest mud houses clean and tidy. Now, facing a spacious and brand-new detached villa, they cherish it even more and take great care of it. They wipe the walls clean, mop the floors, tidy up the items, and sweep the courtyard, doing everything meticulously and methodically.

The men took the initiative to shoulder the heavy work, and went to the supply area to orderly move generators, wires and lights, kitchen utensils, and farm tools.

The group spontaneously formed teams and divided the work together, with the able-bodied men connecting the circuits, installing lighting, debugging generators, and tidying up building materials.

The women gathered together to organize ingredients, wash kitchen utensils, tidy up storage space, and plan the open space in the yard.

There was no laziness or shirking of responsibility; everyone was striving to be the best and making progress.

Back on Earth, they worked from sunrise to sunset, striving with all their might for a few work points, a few feet of cloth, or a few kilograms of food, their lives weighing them down.

But now on Mars, there are no food rations, no shortage of supplies, and no pressure to make a living. Every effort is to build their own home and benefit future generations. Everyone's heart is filled with enthusiasm and passion.

In just half a day, the entire villa complex, stretching for thousands of miles, was brightly lit.

Warm yellow lights illuminate the new Martian home, scattered across the mountains and fields like countless stars fallen onto the red earth, warm, dazzling, and full of life.

Every household's interior was clean and tidy, with items neatly organized, water and electricity running smoothly, and lights shining brightly. The yards were swept clean, food was stored separately, and supplies were arranged in an orderly manner; everything was well-organized and looked brand new.

After settling into their homes, each household welcomed their first meal upon arriving on Mars.

No need for coarse grains to fill your stomach, no need for bland soup.

Plump, white rice, round, fluffy white flour, fresh, tender pork, golden free-range eggs, a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and fragrant cooking oil—a sumptuous meal that ordinary families might not be able to put together for the Lunar New Year—is now readily available on Mars.

Smoke rises gently from chimneys, filling the courtyards with the aroma of food.

The couple worked together seamlessly, with the man chopping wood and starting the fire, and washing the kitchen utensils, while the woman cooked, kneaded dough, and prepared the meal. Their teamwork was impeccable and full of warmth.

The dining table, once a place where meat was a rare treat throughout the year, is now laden with sumptuous dishes. The white rice is fragrant, the braised pork is rich yet not greasy, the scrambled eggs are fresh, tender, and smooth, and the seasonal vegetables are refreshing and help to cut through the richness.

The family sat around in the courtyard, enjoying the refreshing evening breeze and gazing at the clear starry sky. They ate a sumptuous meal they had never dared to dream of before, and many of them had tears in their eyes as they ate.

"I've never eaten such delicious food in my life."

"Back in my hometown, we ate sweet potato porridge and mixed grain buns every day. We could only eat white flour during festivals. I never imagined that we could have meat and fish every day."

"After a lifetime of hardship, we're finally living a good life. Thank you, Mr. Chen, and thank you to China for giving us this opportunity to make a living."

The gentle evening breeze carried subtle emotions, filled with the warmth and contentment of overcoming hardship.

After the meal, every household worked diligently and quickly began the pioneering construction of their Martian home.

Everyone kept Chen Yinmo's words in mind: this endless fertile land needed to be developed and built by their own hands, and the future Xinghe Foundation needed to be created by their own hands.

Countless couples stepped out of their courtyards and gazed at the boundless, fertile, pristine land all around.

The Martian land is incredibly fertile, requiring no fertilizer, soil conditioning, or improvement; it becomes top-quality farmland with just a tap. The air is mild and pleasant, rich in spiritual energy, free from pests and droughts, making it easy for all things to grow.

The rural couples from various places were the most excited; having spent their lives farming and reclaiming wasteland, they had never seen such high-quality land.

The farmland on Blue Star is cultivated year after year, and the soil is depleted. It needs to be fertilized, maintained, and carefully cultivated. It also needs to fight against drought, floods, pests, and natural disasters. Despite hard work all year round, the harvest is still meager and limited.

But the Martian land before us is thick, fertile, and teeming with life. Any seeds scattered here will grow vigorously and bear abundant fruit.

"Let's clear the land and plant crops first! With food in hand, we won't panic."

"First, we'll clear out the open space in front of and behind the yard and plant vegetables, fruits, and grains so that we can be self-sufficient and have a bountiful harvest every year."

Countless couples immediately set to work, picking up brand-new farm tools and spontaneously reclaiming wasteland and tidying up fields.

No need for laborious tilling or strenuous soil preparation; the soft, fertile soil can be easily cleared with a single hoe, making land reclamation and farming incredibly easy.

Each household has its own responsibilities; some couples focus on cultivating their own courtyard plots, planning vegetable gardens, orchards, and small grain fields.

Some young people spontaneously formed teams to reclaim large tracts of wasteland, reserving fertile land for future large-scale planting;

Others worked along the river to manage the soil and water, repair ditches, and dredge irrigation systems.

Everyone works together seamlessly and helps each other. Neighbors, regardless of whether they are strangers or not, are all like family.

If someone is short of manpower to clear land, the couple next door will immediately come forward to lend a hand.

Every family knows how to tidy up their fields, and the experienced old farming couple will take the initiative to teach them the techniques.

The young people are quick and efficient, and they take the initiative to help the older couples with the heavy work.

There was no estrangement or suspicion, no scheming or comparison, only pure mutual help and unity.

This is the pure and kind spirit unique to the Chinese people of the 1970s, which has become even purer and more fervent after being tempered by hardship.

Besides the hard work of clearing land, what everyone was most enthusiastic about and looked forward to was cultivation.

After a busy day, people gathered around the computer equipment in the evening to carefully study the basic cultivation techniques stored within.

The exercises are easy to understand and progress gradually, suitable for the physical constitution of ordinary people. No special talent or aptitude is required, and everyone can practice and improve.

Following the incantation of the exercise, the abundant and pure spiritual energy between Mars and the heavens and earth continuously flowed into the body, cleansing the limbs and bones and nourishing the internal organs.

The lumbar muscle strain, joint pain, and fatigue accumulated from years of hard work quickly dissipate under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

The body becomes stronger and more powerful, light and graceful; the spirit becomes more and more full and clear, radiant and energetic.

Young people who were originally weak and frail can become full of qi and blood and have doubled their strength after practicing for half a day; middle-aged people who have suffered from old ailments due to years of hard work can gradually have their hidden health problems repaired and their spirit refreshed.
