Dear Reader:
When I started writing "Rebirth 1980: I Want to Be the Richest Man in Hong Kong", I had a clear vision in mind - not to re-enact the life of a certain business tycoon, but to depict an era, a spirit, and countless figures moving forward in the wave.
Xiangjiang, a land of just over a thousand square kilometers, created an economic miracle that attracted worldwide attention in the second half of the 20th century. From entrepot trade to the rise of manufacturing, from real estate boom to financial prosperity, the story here has more ups and downs than any script.
The protagonist of this book, Chen Qiming, is a completely fictional character. His story is my tribute to that era of burning passion, a tribute to countless entrepreneurs who dared to be the first, and an inspiration to all ordinary people with dreams.
During the creative process, I consulted a large amount of information on Hong Kong's economic history and social changes, trying to restore the unique atmosphere of that era. But remember, this is ultimately a novel, an imaginative work of possibility. All characters, companies, and events in the book are artistic creations and have nothing to do with reality.
If you see the power of hard work in Chen Qiming's story, feel the pulse of the times, and realize the unpredictability and infinite possibilities of fate, then this work has realized its value.
Let us follow Chen Qiming and return to Hong Kong in 1980 to witness the rise of a business empire and feel the magnificence of an era.
This story is purely fictitious. The characters, plots, company names, etc. Are all artistic creations and have nothing to do with real individuals, institutions, or events. Please do not match them.
