After coming down off Yangmingshan, he returned to his old family home in Linkou, a traditional Chinese home with a three-sided front courtyard. He had left it 20 years before, and now it lay empty. He began to clear the land and renovate the house. He planned to give himself a year to learn how to become a true farmer and then decide whether he would make a living from farming.
下山後，他搬回已經離開 20 年、荒廢無人的林口老家三合院，開始整地、整房子，打算給自己一年時間，學習做個真正荷鋤耕地的農夫，再決定未來是否以務農為生。
