After 13 years of struggling, he decided to become a farmer again. 

Chen Zhuobin, as known as A-Bin, was born in a village in Anhui Province. He walked out of the mountains for study when he was 19. Though he had a successful life as a Creative Director of an international agency in Shanghai, he couldn’t shake away the anxiety reflected in his dreams. "I dreamt several times a year about countless branch roads. I didn't know which one leads home. It made me feel bad."

19岁，陈卓彬走出大山，去广州上大学。在上海打拼13年，从山里的穷小子，变身年薪几十万的广告公司创意总监。可是阿彬却无数次地做着一个噩梦，梦里他在城市中走啊走，却怎么也找不到回家的路。

Once, A-Bin woke up and said to his wife Fu Keng, “I want to go home.” 

惊醒的阿彬，对身边的妻子福坑说：“我想回家。” 

Instead of being surprised, Fu Keng said, “Follow your heart. Don’t worry about me. I can make a living.”

福坑并没有惊讶，她说了这辈子最动人的情话：“你去吧，老娘能养活自己。” 

Under the support of his wife, A-Bin returned his hometown and built the Real Food Farm in 2013. No more work for others, just to lead a real and simple life. 

在妻子的支持下，阿彬回到曾经的大别山，占起山头做牧场。不用再做PPT，不用再给别人做策划，只做最真实的自己。重回山林的阿彬，想用最笨的办法，养出最真实本味的食材。在真食牧场，阿彬在公鸡响亮的鸣叫中起床，在黑毛猪呼呼的鼾声中入睡。一切都在自己的把控中，一切真实得让人心安。

Now a farmer, A-Bin shook off the anxiety and tiredness from the intensive workload in the city: "Only in the mountains, can you feel coming to yourself. There isn't the smell of car exhaust, but the smell of sunshine when it penetrates the woods."

“回到山里面，人才有那种苏醒的感觉。没有汽车尾气的味道，而是阳光透过树丛散发的馨香。鸟叫声，溪水声，老母鸡，小黄牛，叮叮当当的牛铃声，一回来就觉得很轻松，整个心就会融化在这个山山水水里面。回到家里就是回到山里。”

"We don't have any rare ingredients in the Real Food Farm in Ta-pieh Mountains. The world is filled with fakes, leaving the authentic things too precious,” said Chen Zhuobin. 

“我没啥珍稀食材，只是这个世界假的多了，真的就变的珍稀了。” 阿彬说着，吃上一粒黄豆，又撒了一把在地上，一群老母鸡摇摇摆摆地跑过来抢吃。

"These are fried soybeans for my chickens." says A-Bin, "We eat in turns. Only the food I myself would have do they get to eat. Because anything they eat will end up in our stomachs."

“这是炒给我家鸡吃的黄豆，我吃一口，你吃一口。我们自己能塞进嘴里吃的东西，才能给它们吃。因为它们吃的每一样东西，最后都会吃到我们肚子里去。”

Instead of fodders, they were fed only with grains.

他的牲畜家禽不吃饲料，只吃五谷杂粮。

A-Bin's wife is a designer of clothing and accessories. Together, the couple lives a life of “eating healthily and dressing well.” In a time when eating properly becomes a luxury in the urban life, it's truly an invaluable asset to return to the simplicity. 

考虑到太太福坑在上海生活，两人就想了一个平衡农村和城市的办法——把上海的家打造成一个分享山野美食的社交厨房。每周，阿彬将大别山的食材带回上海，和朋友们分享，周末一过，又回到大别山深处。

“吃好就是我了，就是真食阿彬；穿好呢，就是福坑，她是一个鬼马精灵的人，喜欢设计服装饰品。所以我们的家就叫吃好穿好。”

这个“深山食堂”，连接了阿彬与福坑，山村与城市，也连接了一个个饮食男女的故事。

"Life is a journey of finding the way," said A-Bin. 

Those dreams about branch roads have faded away, because he has found his own path.

“人生就是一条回家的路。

在山林里，我才能真正地，安放自己的灵魂。”
