Synopsis

An Ran returns to his hometown to sweep his ancestors’ graves, only to discover that the paper phone he burned can connect the worlds of the living and the dead! A deceased old friend messages him to place an order: “Bro, burn me some roast chicken. I’m starving down here!” Who would have thought the underworld was a trillion-yuan blue ocean market? This business as a middleman between the living and the dead has to take off. And so, Nanshan Village’s bamboo-weaving workshop becomes a bamboo-processing factory, dedicated to making the most of the underworld’s resources. The City of the Wrongfully Dead is transformed into an underworld amusement park, the River of Forgetfulness becomes a lively night market called Nine Springs Peach Blossom Haven, and even Fengdu City gets electricity and internet access. The underworld is bustling, and the world of the living is no less busy. They repair water and power lines and build grain factories, turning rural towns into viral destinations and ideal places to live. But An Ran’s “ambitions” don’t stop there. The Homecoming Network bursts onto the scene, revitalizing both sides of the living and dead. A hundred thousand overworked, fierce ghosts in the City of the Wrongfully Dead are itching to fight back against greedy, exploitative capitalists who profit by devouring people. You make people work 996 hours? I’ll do four days on, three days off, and compete on benefits. You charge sky-high housing prices and drain three generations’ savings? I’ll provide employee housing. Homecoming means everyone can afford a home, and economic growth means everyone dares to spend. We’re all about domestic circulation. The King of Hell frets: “President An, life in the underworld is too comfortable. No ghosts are going to be reincarnated anymore. What should we do?” An Ran: “Don’t worry. Once the human world becomes a paradise, no ghosts will want to stay down here.” The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha smiles knowingly: “This time, we chose the right guide between the worlds of the living and the dead.”

The success of an excellent time-travel novel lies not in the bizarre world it constructs, but in how it delicately depicts the modern soul thrown into the turbulence of time and space, and how it completes its pursuit of self and understanding of the world amidst struggle, adaptation and resistance. When you close the page of the book, what is evocative is not only the success of the protagonist, but also the long-lasting echo of "who we are and where we are going" brought about by the dialogue that spanned time and space.

A very rare male novel that respects male ethics [Like] [Like] The male protagonist does not have the common problems of male animals. He will not pull his flag when he sees a beautiful woman or feel filthy in his heart. He is upright, kind and not lewd. This is the reason why I can continue reading [Like] [Like]

This book is very comfortable to read. It doesn't have too many bad Internet memes or a lot of swear words that make people angry. It just uses simple language to depict the image of an extradition envoy who benefits the people. I have no research on economics, but I feel that the logic of the entire article is very good, and there is no preface or follow-up. Highly recommend this book [Love]

What a great book. Although it is impossible to stand still at the bottom, it has always kept pace with the times. Some of the technologies above are available at the bottom. It is about ten years behind, so it is not like the old almanac. But other parts are well written and the setting is quite good.

The first part is quite interesting, but the last part is a bit too rushed. Looking at the structure, the entire book is estimated to be at least 1.5 Million words, and currently it is less than 900,000 words. It may be that the author has no motivation because of the data, so I would like to encourage the author.

The subject matter is very novel, and the writing style is also very good. There are not many gorgeous words, but it is very comfortable and touching. The protagonist does not have a high level of force or a golden finger. Only the righteousness in his heart can cleanse away all filth. The rating of 7 points is seriously underestimated. Maybe others haven't discovered this book yet. I believe the rating will go up after a while. Good luck, author! ! I really don't like people who only give two or three stars after reading the beginning. I usually give low ratings only after reading the entire book, or when the author's views are very wrong and the book is discarded. If you give a low score just because the settings are not to your taste, you are really like an Internet troll, wasting other people's hard work. It's hard to stand saying that the underworld is corrupt. Isn't that why the character needs to change? Otherwise, if the worlds of Yin and Yang are peaceful, what would the protagonist do?

A good book, one of the few that can be read from beginning to end. Good luck, author. I look forward to your next book!

The newly appeared sister who is the reincarnation of the protagonist's father is named Shen Xingchen. The protagonist seems to have fallen in love with her at first sight. Is she the heroine? I'm a little reluctant to have female protagonists. But aside from this point, this book is quite interesting. Once I read it, I couldn't stop for some reason. Maybe it was because I assumed my identity as a poor man and watched the protagonist dedicated to deflating capital and improving the treatment and welfare of ordinary people. It was a bit satisfying to read it.

The narrative angle chosen by the author of this book is very unique, and the protagonist drives the plot with the author's strong thoughts and feelings. It can be seen that the author has a deep love for the land of Northeast China, so he uses words to express this heavy love.
