I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

The smear squad sent by Chu Tiankuo didn't even make a ripple before being swallowed up by the stinking ditch in Jiangjia Village.

His meticulously planned propaganda war failed before it even began.

What he never expected was that a nationwide media storm would be completely ignited by the incredibly rustic pig-slaughtering feast in Jiangjia Village.

Jiang Sisi, the "Kuaishou beauty" who aspires to be an internet celebrity, livestreamed the entire pig-slaughtering banquet that night.

She originally just wanted to ride the wave of popularity in the village, but unexpectedly, things turned out much better than she thought.

Hundreds of steaming iron pots, mountains of pork, and the grand scene of thousands of people sitting together, eating meat and drinking wine...

That rugged, primitive, and vibrant atmosphere, conveyed through the small screen of a mobile phone, instantly struck the hearts of countless young people in the city who were struggling to breathe under the pressure of the 996 work schedule.

Especially when the scene of Jiang Youfu kneeling down to repent and the two brothers Jiang Wanshan and Jiang Wanhai hugging each other and crying bitterly appeared, the live broadcast room chat went completely crazy.

"Holy crap! I'm a 30-year-old man, and I cried! This is true family love!"

"Damn it, I'm quitting tomorrow! Going back to my hometown! I never want to be at the mercy of my boss in this big city again, eating cold, pre-made meals!"

"This is the real spirit of the New Year! It's a million times more interesting than those awkward galas! It brought tears to my eyes!"

"That guy Jiang Shitou is amazing! He took on a 300-pound fat pig single-handedly! That's a real man! Much better than those effeminate celebrities!"

"Address please! I want to go eat 'pig-killing feast' next year! I'll pay for it myself!"

After the live stream ended, someone edited the three-hour screen recording into a ten-minute highlight reel, added sentimental music, and posted it on various short video platforms.

The video's title is simple and direct: "A rural pig-slaughtering feast that made me cry."

This video went viral.

It became an absolute sensation.

On the first day, the number of views exceeded 50 million.

The next day, the number of views exceeded 200 million.

On the third day, the total number of views for related videos on major platforms exceeded 500 million!

The phrase "Jiangjia Village Pig Slaughter Feast" immediately topped the national trending search list, followed by a bright red "Explosive" sign.

Numerous media outlets followed up with reports, offering a plethora of interpretations from various angles.

Is nostalgia the hometown we can never return to, or the Jiangjia Village we are unwilling to leave?

"New Choices for the Next Generation: Rather than Competing in the City, Why Not Go Back to the Village and Be a 'Jiang Shitou'?"

Even more surprisingly, the official account of CCTV's agricultural channel liked the most popular video and posted a comment.

"Preserving our nostalgia and our roots. Thumbs up for this most genuine and down-to-earth life! Well done, Jiangjia Village!"

This official comment was like a red stamp on this online frenzy.

Jiangjia Village, once an obscure little mountain village, has overnight become a "poetry and distant place" in the hearts of people all over the country.

The most direct impact was seen in the online stores selling agricultural products from Jiangjia Village.

On the night the video went viral, the number of visitors to the online store's backend instantly exceeded one million.

"A divine vegetable gift box, order now!"

"Twenty jars of strawberry jam, please!"

"I heard their pork is raised on spring water? When will the link be up? I'll pre-order 100 jin!"

Overnight, orders worth millions came in like snowflakes.

The programmer responsible for maintaining the backend watched helplessly as the server load changed from green to yellow, then to a glaring red, and finally, with a "bang," the screen went black.

The server crashed due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of netizens across the country.

Inside the village committee office.

Wang Dagou looked at the sales data handed to him by the technicians and his face turned red with excitement. He paced back and forth in the office.

"Brother Chen! We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich this time!"

"We sold over 300,000 bottles of strawberry jam in just one night! Our warehouse is completely empty!"

"And vegetables! Orders are booked until next summer!"

Jiang Chen leaned back in the boss's chair, a slight smile on his face, and slowly sipped his tea.

He looked out the window at the land bathed in the winter sun, seemingly unsurprised by the astonishing sales figures.

After his initial excitement wore off, Wang Dagou started rubbing his hands together and began to worry again.

"But Brother Chen, wasn't our packaging box supply chain cut off by that guy surnamed Chu? Now we have so many orders, but we have no boxes to ship! Isn't this just a waste of our good fortune?"

Jiang Chen put down his teacup and turned to look at Wang Dagou.

"Da Gou, what do you think Chu Tiankuo is relying on to try and cut off our external supply chain?"

Wang Dagou paused for a moment, then scratched his head: "By...by money?"

Not entirely.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"He relied on information asymmetry, and on the shortsightedness and fear of those small business owners."

"He can threaten the owners of one or two small factories, but can he threaten the entire nation?"

Jiang Chen stood up, walked to the map, and his gaze fell on the small red dot of Jiangjia Village.

"Now, netizens all over China are watching Jiangjia Village, and even state media are standing up for us."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a powerful confidence.

"Call the owners of those three packaging factories now and ask them if they still dare not supply us with goods."

"I want to see which packaging factory in Nanjiang Province dares to risk being condemned by the entire nation and cut off our supplies!"
