Reborn: Claiming the Galaxy in the Nineties

People lament how unpredictable life is and how year after year, regrets go unfulfilled. In his previous life, Xing Chen was young and naive, consumed by vanity and trapped in a swamp of online loans and toxic people. He wasted his education and his youth, spent half his life drifting from job to job, and saw his entrepreneurial ventures fail. He exhausted his time and meager savings, let down his parents, wife, and children, and spent the rest of his life struggling at the bottom of society. All that remained was a heart full of regret, resentment, and helplessness.

Fortunately, his life was not yet over. He finally woke from a long dream and returned to the blazing summer of 1998, to the classroom of his second year of high school at sixteen, standing once more at the fork in the road where his life had gone astray. He cuts off toxic relationships and sets firm boundaries, steering clear of every desire and trap that takes more than it gives. He devotes himself to his studies and pursues a bright future, using knowledge to pave the way ahead. He builds up workplace experience, spots the opportunities of the age, and steadily launches his business through hard work. He cherishes the warmth of family and makes up for a lifetime of regrets, ensuring every debt of love is answered and that his years finally find their happy ending. This is the best of times, with reform and opening-up surging ahead, the bustle of everyday life in full swing, and opportunities everywhere. It is also the most perilous age: temptations lie in wait and traps abound. One wrong step can ruin an entire life.
