Li Wenxuan, a senior engineer from 2030, woke up one morning as a frail young man in a Beijing siheyuan in 1970.
From the start, he had nothing to his name, his pockets were emptier than his stomach, and he had a little sister who was pale, thin, and timid.
Just as he was worrying about where their next meal would come from, a voice rang out in his mind:
[ Ding! The Heartwarming Life Sign-in System has been activated! ]
[ Sign in at the old kitchen to receive a reward: one bag of specially supplied white flour! ]
[ Cook a piping-hot meal for your sister and complete the "Warmth of Family" quest to receive a reward: permanent skill, Master Chef! ]
[ Fix the old neighbor's radio and complete the "Helping Your Neighbors" quest to receive a reward: ten jin of grain coupons and one industrial coupon! ]
Li Wenxuan understood. The System wasn't asking him to conquer the world. It simply hoped he would live wholeheartedly in these hard times, cherish his family, and spread warmth.
So he began by making his sister her first new outfit and improving relations with the neighbors. Using the System and his own knowledge, Li Wenxuan gradually made their little home warm and prosperous. While others still worried about getting by on bran and wild greens, the aroma of meat wafted from their home. While others fought over a single dacron shirt, his sister was already wearing the most fashionable clothes.
This is a story of striving and protecting what matters. Watch as a soul from the future uses a magical sign-in System in that red era to sign himself and his sister into a happy life filled with sunshine and hope.
