Reborn in 1959: Hunting in the Greater Khingan Mountains

When Sun Lingfeng woke from the cold, he realized he had been reborn on the eve of the heavy snow that would seal off the mountains in 1959.

In his previous life, his family was poor, and he had to become a live-in son-in-law just to survive. Then, while chopping wood in the mountains, a blind bear licked his eyes and blinded him. He survived, but could no longer earn a living for his family and was treated with contempt. The night before the heavy snow closed the mountains, he froze to death in the cowshed. His younger sister, Sun Xiaohua, married Qian Jingui, a man with a physical disability, to save the family, only to suffer endless torment and die a horrible death.

This time, he resolutely grabs his hunting rifle and woodcutting knife and ventures into the perilous Xing'an Mountains. He sets traps, hunts game, identifies wild herbs, and searches for mountain delicacies. While others are still worrying about how to get enough to eat, the Sun family already has the smell of meat wafting from their home. He not only provides for his whole family, but also becomes the finest hunter in all the surrounding villages, living a life everyone envies.
