From the Start: Taking My Little Sister to Make It in the Capital

Synopsis:

In his past life, his younger sister died of illness on the road as they fled famine. He lived alone in misery and died a miserable death.

Reborn in 1953, the moment his sister comes down with a high fever, he begs a barefoot doctor to save her life.

In this life, with his skills, his wits, and a conscience that refuses to compromise, he rises from a famine refugee with no household registration to a grade-eight fitter, then from a laid-off worker to an entrepreneur. He braves forty years of hardship and change.

Grain coupons, the Cultural Revolution, the restoration of the college entrance exam, Reform and Opening Up... Through the tides of the times, he holds on to just one belief:

This time, he will never let his sister die again.
