Hunting in Northeast China: The Golden Age of Foraging in the Xing'an Mountains

Billionaire Bao Xiaoguang, worth billions in 2025, is unexpectedly reborn in the snowy forests of the Greater Khingan Range in 1983. In his previous life, his childhood sweetheart, Chen Aizhi, died beneath a wild boar’s tusks while saving him. Their families turned against each other, and the tragedy haunted him for the rest of his life. This time, he swears to change everything. Armed with sixty years of hunting experience, the seventeen-year-old Bao Xiaoguang hunts a wild boar with his knife and saves Aizhi, scares off wolves with his rifle, outsmarts the greedy village chief, and befriends loyal brothers. Starting with a hunting knife and two hunting dogs, he hunts bears for their gallbladders, tracks deer and surrounds roe deer, and gathers rare forest goods, earning the first fortune of his new life in the snow-covered Greater Khingan Range. In an era of scarce supplies, he leads the villagers in developing a trade in forest products. With a hunter’s wits and courage, he carves out a path to survival between the planned economy and the nascent market. From the hunting grounds of the snowy mountains to the county town’s black market, and from a borrowed Mosin-Nagant to building his own hunting team, he gradually becomes the undisputed “Hunting King” of the Greater Khingan Range. This is a period tale brimming with the wild vitality of life. It features thrilling hunts across the snowy plains, the warmth of everyday life in Northeastern villages, and the sweeping story of a man reborn who helps shape a new era with his own hands. See how Bao Xiaoguang protects the people he loves and leads the mountain villagers through the icy forests to hunt their way into a golden age.
