The Renaissance of Future Generations

(This is an ensemble novel with multiple protagonists and storylines, and a somewhat slow start. All country names, place names, organizations, events, dates, characters, and other elements mentioned in this work are entirely fictional. Do not connect them to reality.)

(Any organizations and statements featured in this work serve only the setting and plot, and do not represent the author's personal position.)

History rises in a spiral.

The times move forward along a winding path.

Nuclear war destroyed the glories of the past.

A Little Ice Age froze the splendor of days gone by.

We were born in the darkest hour of human civilization,

at a turning point when history was going backward.

But

intellectual movements are the harbingers of social change.

Just as poets in the old era shattered the Church,

we will raise the banner of a new age.

We will liberate people's minds once again.

We will lead this new transformation.

When the wheels of history return to the right path,

may we all be pioneers and standard-bearers.
