The protagonist, Lin Yang, is 22 years old. Before being reborn, he spent 20 years working in the electronics industry, witnessing firsthand the entire journey of domestic mobile phones, from the rampant spread of knockoffs to the breakthrough of established brands. He lived through all the industry’s regrets: being strangled by the lack of homegrown chips, dependence on overseas supply chains, and vicious cutthroat competition. After years of pushing his body too far and exhausting himself in the fight to overcome research challenges, he died suddenly from overwork. Reborn in 2008, he returns to a low-level sales job at a knockoff phone factory in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen. He carries precise memories of the electronics industry’s technological roadmap over the next 20 years, policy windows, supply-chain blacklists, market opportunities, patent barriers, and moments of crisis. Steady and decisive, he keeps his promises and honors his commitments. He is committed to building on technology, sharing prosperity, rejecting knockoffs, and breaking monopolies through independent research, with the goal of creating a domestic mobile phone brand with core technologies across the entire supply chain.
It's okay. I hope the author can write better and better and don't end it badly. It's so repetitive that it makes me numb. Tired, tired
