About This Novel

Li Chengyun accidentally traveled to the turbulent Shanghai in 1919 and became a coolie on the bottom dock. Coinciding with the outbreak of the May 4th Movement, the national sentiment across the country was high, and the [Chinese Humanitarian Willing Power System] was awakened, which can absorb positive emotions such as recognition, reverence, and faith from compatriots, and turn them into willing power points, which can be exchanged for advanced technology, knowledge, materials, and strong physiques. Relying on the historical memory of foresight, Li Chengyun stepped forward in the student patriotic movement, quickly rose to prominence, and gained the first wave of willpower. He exchanged advanced soap formulas, joined forces with down-and-out patriotic national capitalists to start an industry, and made his first pot of gold. He is both smooth and ruthless in his dealings. While using political means to integrate the dock forces and build an exclusive intelligence and force network, he also recruits progressive students, revolutionaries and patriotic businessmen, holds high the banner of industrial salvation, and quickly accumulates huge wealth and high reputation. In the mid-term, he relied on his strong financial resources to secretly purchase arms and form a private armed force. He took advantage of the warlords' melee to build a camp step by step, used clever strategies to occupy territory, and became a tycoon in troubled times. In the base area, he vigorously developed heavy industry, popularized modern education, built a modern army, and implemented comprehensive reforms; he got to know and stay with Su Wanqing, a progressive woman with new ideas, and her lover became his right-hand assistant on the road to reform. When the Japanese invaded China and the nation was in danger, Li Chengyun no longer lay dormant and resolutely took up the anti-Japanese banner. Relying on advanced military concepts and strong industrial strength, he led his troops to severely defeat the Japanese army and reached the peak of his reputation. He united all anti-Japanese forces, joined forces vertically and horizontally to drive out foreign aggression, and finally led the ancient nation on the road to rejuvenation, completing the transformation from dock coolies to the times.
