Reborn in 1997: From Selling Bootleg CDs to Becoming the Pop God of the Century

Xu Xiaochen, the owner of an audio and video store, is reborn in 1997, the year he used to sell pirated discs!

That year, Richie Ren's "The Heart Is Too Soft" was playing in every street and alley!

That year, "Pearl of the Orient" was echoing through shopping malls and television sets everywhere!

Nicholas Tse had just released his first album!

Dao Lang was still singing at a bar in Xinjiang!

A Du was still a construction foreman.

Many songs that would later remain popular for years had yet to appear in this era.

After discovering all this, Xu Xiaochen no longer wants to be just an audio and video store owner. He sets out on a remarkable journey from selling pirated discs to becoming a legendary singer of the century.

One song, "Heartbroken Pacific," has countless lovesick men and women singing themselves hoarse and weeping in the middle of the night.

One song, "The First Snow of 2022," sends countless fans to Xinjiang in search of the No. 2 bus parked on the eighth floor.

And one song, "Blue and White Porcelain," puts an end to the arrogance of Korean pop, making Chinese pop the top-tier star of the music scene...
