The Night Watcher in an Age of Turmoil

In the year 2105, civilization archivist Su Qiyuan accidentally activates a quantum storage chip engraved with the words “Starbridge” while sorting through his family’s belongings. It takes him back to the starting point of the Su family’s rise in 2025. Through fragments of four generations’ memories, he witnesses his grandfather, Su Zhenbang, found Starbridge Technology with a healer’s compassion, only to become caught in the maelstrom of capital and ethics; his uncle, Su Mingzhe, cross the red line by digitizing consciousness in pursuit of profit, triggering a social crisis; and the family fracture and fall amid a technological frenzy, eventually becoming a tragic footnote in the transition of carbon-based civilization. With the eyes of the future, Su Qiyuan examines the past and, torn between historical records and emotion, questions the boundaries between technology and humanity: As civilization races toward the stars, who still remembers the guardians crushed beneath its wheels?
