from the book the good earth what does wang lung means when he said land is one's flesh and blood?

Answer 1

Wang Lung was a farmer, and his fortunes and very life relied upon what the land produced. He was tied to it, and it to him.

Answer 2

In the beginning when he was poor, his very existence depended on the land. He needed to nurture it as one would a child. If you like Pearl S. Buck she also wrote a book about her life as a child growing up in China, very interesting!

Answer 3

The peasant's whole life depended on the harvest of rice, and they had reverence and a deep sense of connection to it. We have forgotten, but will be reminded.
