Before and after footage shows how an elderly man's dream of having his own private allotment when he started farming a mini island was washed away by floods.

The entrepreneurial retiree could not afford a vegetable plot due to rental prices but he spotted the mini island on a river in the coastal province of Guangdong, China.

Guangdong is the most populous province of China making land extremely expensive, and it is also the third-most populous country subdivision in the world.

Video footage from June 10, shows him lovingly maintaining the vegetable plot and working hard to ensure that the plants grow.

However, before harvesting, high water levels caused the island to flood, washing away all of his hard work.

Another clip from June 17 revealed how the island was submerged.

It is unclear if the island itself will also still be there when the flood waters subside, and the man has not made any public comment on whether he plans to resume his dream and try again next year.
