In an instant, the world was turned upside down.
Li Yanzhi, a top wildlife researcher, still operates drones in the dense forests at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, tracking takin and analyzing data flows in the cloud. The next second, the noise of electricity tore through reality, and he suddenly woke up and found himself curled up on a clanking green train.
It's 1969 before us.
He became Lin Jianjun, an educated youth, wearing coarse linen and linen clothes, carrying corn bread that could only satisfy his hunger and a red coupon book that determined his survival. The destination is the Great Northern Wilderness where bitter cold and hope coexist. And his new identity is a member of the hunting group of the Production and Construction Corps - monthly quota: two kilograms of red tickets and five rounds of bullets.
The barriers of modern technology collapsed. GPS, thermal imaging, animal behavior databases... All the skills needed for survival are ineffective. He must take off the cloak of civilization and relearn the most primitive laws of survival in this black land where beasts are rampant and wind and snow are raging.
Facing the experienced but taciturn old hunter, his scornful companions, and the sharp contradiction between policy and survival, can Lin Jianjun find his footing between the shotgun and the lasso with his vision and knowledge that spans the ages?
From prey to hunter, from foreign land to homeland. This is an epic about survival, growth and roots, the tempering and rebirth of a modern soul in the torrent of history.
The black earth is speechless, and everything has animism. Will his gunpoint be aimed at survival or protection?
No. . . .
