On July 15, 1993, three young people abandoned by the times fell into an uninhabited island in the Nansha Islands during a storm.
All they carry is a debt, a mobile phone with an almost exhausted battery, and broken memories of the great changes in the next thirty years.
On this island dominated by pirates and secrets, knowledge is the only weapon. They used physical laws to obtain water, used chemical knowledge to defend against enemies, and built their first stronghold in an isolated place. When the waves of history could be faintly heard, they decided to return to the world - carrying the imprint from the future, they stepped into the boiling era of barbaric growth and gold everywhere.
This is an expedition that uses reason to fight barbarism and uses information to reduce dimensionality. From desert islands to Hong Kong, from Shenzhen to Shanghai, on the eve of the explosion of the stock market, real estate and technology, they used advanced cognition as a compass to skillfully leverage the levers of the times. However, the shadow of collusion between government and businessmen and the iron curtain of inherent interests are far more dangerous than the wind and waves.
They are not meant to be the wave itself.
What they have to do is to compose their own, irreplaceable melody for this roaring symphony of the times.
