"Moon Rising Over the Sea" is an fictional historical epic in which China completed its modernization transformation ahead of schedule in the 17th century.
The story uses Zheng Chenggong as the first protagonist - King Yanping, who is possessed by the soul of a 21st century AI technology entrepreneur - as the core perspective, and reconstructs China's national path at the historical nodes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Rebellion of San Francisco, and European colonial expansion.
This is not a "sight restored" story, but a more ambitious hypothesis:
What would it look like if China had completed population reorganization, institutional upgrading, establishment of sea power, and global competition in the 17th century?
The book takes geopolitics, institutional design, population and industrial layout, intelligence networks, and competition in the international order as its main sources of inspiration, emphasizing:
• Victory is not an accident
• History is not destiny
• Countries can be "designed"
Reader comments
The narrative is quite unique. It is rare for a CEO to write the story of the Ming Dynasty.
