Chen Yuan, a modern grassroots Party secretary, transmigrates into the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and takes over the body of an impoverished scholar. The moment he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a living hell of warlord strife and desperate poverty. He may have an unwavering belief in communism and a solid grasp of its theory, but he is unarmed and trapped in a desperate situation.
In this desperate situation, Chen Yuan resolves to kindle a spark in the darkness. Starting with one village at a time, he unites displaced people and tenant farmers under the slogan “Make the poor rich and the lowly equal to the noble.” Using modern organizational methods and scientific thinking, he establishes peasant associations, redistributes land, and trains a new army. Surrounded by powerful enemies and beset by internal conflicts, his cause of “Great Harmony” grows through blood and fire, eventually founding a “Great Harmony Republic” bearing the faint glow of early socialism.
Yet overthrowing the old world is easy; building a new one is hard. Abjectly low productivity, entrenched old ideas, the momentum of revolution, and the corrupting influence of absolute power continually distort his ideals in the face of reality. Chen Yuan brings order and fairness, but may also create new shackles.
This is not just a story about a transmigrator vying for supremacy. It is also a profound exploration of ideals and reality, theory and practice, power and human nature. It is both a triumphant ode to idealism and a sobering tragedy.
Well enough! The main character did a good job, I feel like the main character did a good job though! It is also best to write resumes of the officers who work under the protagonist, and write about why the representatives will follow the protagonist to fight and what they have experienced. It is best to be more detailed, so that the representatives can also show flesh and blood! Don't let the protagonist talk and lead a group of people throughout the whole story. I feel that others can inherit the protagonist's ideals, and others can lead the people to struggle and take charge of their own affairs!
