[Rebirth + Educated Youth + Great Northern Wilderness + Hunting + Building Wealth + Foreknowledge + Interwoven Main and Subtle Romance]
Reborn in 1970, he finds that his parents have just left for the Great Southwest to take part in classified work.
Chen Weidong opens his eyes and once again sees his vicious, selfish second uncle’s family demanding that he hand over his job and home.
In his previous life, his weak nature made him give way again and again just to preserve what they called “family ties.”
As a result, his second uncle secretly sent him to an extremely impoverished region. With no family or friends, he spent decades struggling just to get enough to eat, until illness ravaged his body and he died with bitterness in his heart.
This time, he decides to live for himself!
You want my home and my job?
He sends a denunciation straight to the neighborhood office, getting the whole family of “toxic relatives” sent to labor reform. Then he turns around, hands over the home and job, and takes the treasures his parents left behind, along with the foreknowledge he gained in his previous life, as he volunteers for the “Great Northern Wilderness”!
There, goldfish of every size lie buried beneath the black soil, while the old forests teem with all kinds of game.
While everyone else goes to the countryside to “suffer,” he goes there to feast on meat.
From a greenhorn educated youth to a production team leader, he grows into “Boss Chen,” whose name rings throughout China’s three northeastern provinces.
He establishes the province’s first agricultural-industrial cooperative, helping almost everyone get enough to eat.
When the winds of reform begin to blow, Chen Weidong stands atop a skyscraper, looking at his loved ones beside him.
“Know what?”
“We owe it all to those idiots who forced my hand back then!”
