Rain falls softly at Fenghuangshan Park. Ripples spread across the water, leaves glow beneath the cloudy sky, and the city becomes quiet for a moment. Turn the sound on and enjoy the rain.

Beneath the green canopy of Nanjing’s Wutong Avenue, sunlight dances through the leaves and summer seems to slow down. More than a beautiful road, it is a living part of the city’s history and everyday rhythm.

Xu Yan once believed city life lacked true happiness. She discovered another way of living through farming. Farming offers no easy guarantees. Seasons bring challenges and uncertainty, but she keeps going. Her belief is simple: “The land never lies.” The results may not be the same every season, but every effort carries meaning. When spring thunder rolls, she hears the promise of a new beginning. In Nanjing, she knows she is not farming alone. Behind every field and every new step forward are the people and communities that support her.

In 1996, Patrick could not find the bread he wanted in Nanjing — so he began baking it himself. That decision brought Skyways into being and forged a lifelong connection with the city. Over nearly 30 years, he has witnessed Nanjing’s streets expand, communities evolve and opportunities flourish, while the city retains what he calls its “heart of nature.” This is a story of building a life in an unfamiliar place, growing alongside the city, and slowly finding a place to call home. One life. One city. Nearly three decades of change.
