Longevity Watching Tide Record

In 2020, Xu Guanchao was writing a novel at home that extended from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Republic of China. A strange thunder woke him up in a Taoist temple in the mountains in the eleventh year of Zhizheng, and awakened all the memories of modern people. At this time, the Yellow River bursts, the stone man appears, and the red scarf is about to rise; his master Yu Buyen told him that the road home may have to end with the tide. There is no system, no level of cultivation, and no one person can dominate the world. Only Xu Guanchao and Yu Buwen, masters and disciples, possess true qi in the world, and true qi can only be improved slowly over the long years. What Xu Guanchao can really rely on is the history he has seen with his own eyes, the experience of modern people, and the patience to organize food, account books, roads and ordinary people time and time again. Starting from a pot of porridge in the eleventh year of Zhizheng, he will go through the red scarf war, the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, the emergence of maritime trade and industry, and then watch the replacement of dynasties, the roar of firearms, and the rollout of railways, until the end of the old empire in 1912. During the five hundred and sixty-one years, he could know the fate of many people in advance, but he could not regard living people as just names in history books.
