Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

The helicopter slowly landed on the helipad on the outskirts of the city, and we were greeted by government officials and a group of media reporters carrying cameras. I took a deep breath and hugged the briefcase in my hand tightly, which contained the evidence we brought back at the risk of our lives, enough to expose the ugly face of the international agricultural giants.

Bai Hanchuan gave me a firm look, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." I nodded, suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, faced the flash lights and microphones, and walked towards the people who were waiting for the truth.

"Everyone, I'm Mu Jinli. Thank you all for coming today." I tried to make my voice sound calm and powerful. "Today, I want to expose a shocking conspiracy to everyone. It's about international agricultural giants and the food security on which we depend for survival."

My opening remarks immediately caused an uproar at the scene, and reporters handed the microphone to me one after another, scrambling to get first-hand information. I motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then made public everything we found in the planting base, from the abuse of genetic modification technology to the conspiracy of international agricultural giants.

When I talked about the irreversible damage that genetically modified crops would cause to the ecological environment, and when I talked about the seemingly high-yield crops that were actually lies designed to make huge profits, I saw shock, anger, and deep worry on the faces of those reporters.

"We have evidence!" Bai Hanchuan took over my words and raised the document bag in his hand high, "These documents are enough to prove everything we said!"

The expressions of the government officials were serious and solemn. They took the evidence we provided, read through it carefully, and their brows furrowed more and more.

"Ms. Mu, Mr. Bai, please rest assured," an official put down the documents in his hand and promised solemnly, "We will immediately set up a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate this matter! We will never let any criminal go unpunished!"

A glimmer of hope ignited in my heart. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. I believe that with the support of the government, we will be able to completely crush this conspiracy!

"Dear media friends," I faced the camera again, my voice firm and powerful, "this battle is not just ours, it's a battle for all of us! We need your help, we need you to spread the truth and make more people aware of the importance of agricultural safety and environmental protection!"

The flash lights went on again, and reporters were recording my words. I knew this was just the beginning.

"Ms. Mu, what are your plans next?" a reporter asked.

I took a deep breath and looked into the distance with a firm gaze: "I want the whole world to know..." "I want the whole world to know that food security and environmental protection are closely related to each of us! We must stand up bravely and say no to those companies that will do anything for profit! We must protect this land for ourselves and for our future generations!" My voice echoed in the square for a long time.

After the press conference, our story spread quickly to every corner of the city, as if it had wings. Newspapers, radio, and television were all reporting on the conspiracy of the international agricultural giants and our efforts to expose the truth.

The public's reaction far exceeded our expectations. From initial shock and suspicion to later anger and solidarity, a massive boycott movement was launched across the country in just a few days. People spontaneously organized themselves and took to the streets, calling on the government to strengthen supervision and protect agricultural safety.

"Jinli, look!" Bai Hanchuan pointed at the phone screen and said excitedly, "Our mailbox is about to be overwhelmed, full of letters of support from all over the country!"

I took the phone and looked at the encouragement and support from strangers, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. We are no longer fighting alone, with so many people standing behind us, we will definitely win!

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of us.

"Teacher!" I shouted in surprise. It was the retired gardening master!

"Children, you did a great job!" The old man shook our hands excitedly, "I have said it before, good will prevail over evil! Your courage and determination remind me of those days..."

Before he could finish, another voice interrupted, "Jinli, Hanchuan, I'm late!"

It was the botanical expert! Behind him followed a group of young faces, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and hope.

"We have established a non-profit organization," the expert professor said excitedly, "dedicated to promoting green agriculture and sustainable development. Would you like to join us?"

I nodded without hesitation, and Bai Hanchuan also stood firmly beside me.

The setting sun made our figures look particularly slender. Looking at this group of like-minded partners in front of me, my heart was filled with hope.

"Let's go," I said to Bai Hanchuan, "It's time for us to go back..."

When we returned to the planting base, we were greeted by the long-lost vitality. The land that had become barren due to the suppression of international agricultural giants has now regained its vitality. Rows of neatly planted vegetables and fruits exude an attractive luster in the sun, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and grass.

"It seems that everyone has not given up." Bai Hanchuan said with relief as he looked at everything in front of him.

I nodded, feeling touched. Although it was hard during this period, I felt it was all worth it to see the base regain its vitality. We have not only developed more green and healthy agricultural products, but also opened an agricultural science education base, regularly inviting students and citizens to visit and learn, so that they can understand the importance of green agriculture, get close to nature, and love the land.

"Jinli, look!" Bai Hanchuan pointed to a group of children not far away. They were surrounding their teacher, curiously observing the growth process of the plants.

I followed his gaze and smiled with satisfaction. The innocent smiles of the children are our motivation to persevere. I believe that as long as we sow the seeds of hope, we will surely reap better fruits in the future.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, our planting base has developed into a well-known green agricultural demonstration base in the local area. Our agricultural products are also deeply loved by consumers for their excellent quality and unique taste, and the supply exceeds the demand.

"Jinli, you are so awesome!" Bai Hanchuan looked at the latest issue of the newspaper, which contained a report about our planting base, and his words were full of pride.

"This is all thanks to everyone." I said with a smile, "We worked together to achieve today's results."

That evening, as usual, Bai Hanchuan and I went to the top of the mountain behind the base and looked into the distance. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on our faces, warm.

"Hanchuan, do you think what we are doing now is really meaningful?" I suddenly asked, looking at the fields in the distance.

"Of course it is meaningful." Bai Hanchuan held my hand and said firmly, "We not only provide people with safe and healthy food, but also contribute to protecting the environment, and..."

He paused, his eyes becoming deep, "We have proved to those forces that try to control everything that justice and conscience will never be buried!"

I nodded, my heart full of hope. Although I know that the road ahead is still long and there will be various challenges, we are no longer fighting alone. More and more people are joining our cause to jointly protect our land and our future.

The sound of a cell phone ringing broke the tranquility on the top of the mountain. Bai Hanchuan answered the phone and his expression gradually became solemn...
