My Age of Exploration: Buying Malacca

From a poor boy in the Gobi Desert of Qinghai to the uncrowned king who controls the world's maritime chokepoints.

Ma Tengyun, armed with Haizi's poetry and a wolf's ferocity, ventures into international waters, breaks monopolies, battles in northern Myanmar, and conquers Europe.

He builds a shipping empire, seizes control of the Strait of Malacca, and buys the Panama and Suez Canals,

but at the height of his power, he chooses to retire to his hometown, staying true to his original dream: "Facing the sea, with spring blossoms in bloom."

This is an epic of the sea, where personal dreams intertwine with the mission of the nation.

The sea is in his heart, and beneath his feet.
