When the third season of the variety show "Farming" started airing, I was both looking forward to and curious: What other surprises could this group of "farming boys" bring? "Farming" is not like many variety shows, which are full of weaving, conflict, and hype. Instead, it faithfully records the process of a group of young people working, learning, and growing in the fields. From Hangzhou, Zhejiang, to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and then to the Northeast Plains, following their footsteps, the audience saw the customs and customs of various places, saw the diversity of agriculture, and understood the significance of comprehensive rural revitalization and the responsibility of the younger generation. This group of young farmers is no longer urban youths who "do not distinguish between grains and grains". They have dug their feet into the soil and swayed their youth in the fields of hope.

Of course, as a "slow variety show", what attracts me most about "Farming" is its soothing rhythm, which is precious in this era. Each of us seems to be in a hurry right now, and we rarely have the mood to stop and feel the beauty of life. The teenagers in "Farming" follow the natural rhythm of working at sunrise and resting at sunset; their intimate interaction with the land, sincere conversations with old farmers, and sincere dialogue with themselves bring the audience into a long-lost state of "leisure." This is not idle time, but a kind of spiritual blankness. It allows me to see that "poetry and the distance" are not far away, it is the land under my feet. It also makes me believe that as long as we feel and pay with our hearts, we can find our own happiness and meaning in ordinary life.
