Lin Zhao’s story begins with the sudden death of a frustrated young man in the modern world and ends with a legend that rewrites the course of civilization. He was no born saint. At first, he too craved comfort and power. But as he clashed with an ancient empire and witnessed the suffering of its people, his conscience joined with the knowledge he had brought from the modern age, giving rise to a true ideal.
He left behind more than paper, cement, and gunpowder. He also left a conviction: knowledge should benefit the people, power should serve the public, and technology must be restrained by ethics. Civilization advances so that every individual may live with dignity and happiness.
From an internet cafe to the Xianyang Palace, from county magistrate to transmigrator, Lin Zhao changed not only his own fate, but also opened the way to a glorious future that his people might have taken at a crossroads in history. His answer has traveled through two thousand years of dust, and still echoes today: How should one live a life? See what is lacking in the world, then set to work building a better one.
