On 29 March 1974, Yang Zhifa, a farmer living in northwest China, was digging holes with his brothers, trying to find water to help them survive a brutal drought that had swept over the land.
Yang did not find any water that day, but he found something worth ten thousand times more.
What was it? (Well the episode title gives it away…) But tune in anyway to find out!
