Tang Lantern

From ancient torches to modern electric lights, lamps have always been essential tools for humanity. What happened in between has reached us only through hearsay. The one thing we know for certain is that our ancestors spent countless years on that journey.

Yang Fan is an overworked wage slave overlooked by time. By a twist of fate, he dreams his way back to the early Tang dynasty, where he sees the people’s struggles and witnesses Dunhuang at the height of its splendor. But reality is not what he imagined: an age of prosperity only looks prosperous by comparison, and people still cannot afford to eat their fill.

No! This is not the history we should have! Yang Fan is willing to become a lamp, to light their way and guide them forward, so that people a thousand years from now will remember, if only briefly, the terror of once being ruled by them!
