Synopsis

In the fourth year of Zhizheng under the Yuan, in the fourth month.

A young man sat on the roof of a thatched cottage, enthusiastically telling a little cowherd about the land six hundred years in the future.

In the boy's still-immature heart, he planted a seed called ambition.

From then on, the little cowherd became a world-renowned legend: the Hongwu Emperor.

With the young man's help,

he opened maritime trade, completely crushed the Northern Yuan, and opened a sea route to the Americas. From then on, the people of the Great Ming had enough food and clothing, and an era of peace and prosperity began.

Then came the development of firearms, political reform, technological advancement, and the promotion of agriculture and industry. The whole realm united in allegiance, and all foreign peoples paid tribute to the Ming.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, two old men sat atop the Forbidden City, at the very heart of the world.

The two old men chatted about their turbulent lives.

As they watched the great sun slowly sink, they looked at each other and smiled. Gathering the last of their strength, they shouted together:

“Make the sun stop!”

Then the two oldest men at the pinnacle of the world

passed away peacefully,

in the midst of that bold ambition to make the sun stop for them.
