1888: The Chinese Rule the Pacific

I wake up in 1888 in Honolulu’s Chinatown, inhabiting the body of a Cantonese indentured laborer on a sugar plantation. The moment I open my eyes, I’m caught in a fight for my life, face-to-face with the desperate plight of overseas Chinese suffering abuse, while my homeland teeters in the storm behind me. I can’t change the course of my homeland’s history, nor do I intend to meddle in its internal conflicts. I have only one goal: to build a safe home overseas where millions of wandering Chinese can settle without fear of abuse. In this desperate situation, I activate the Global Resource Forecasting System and set out on a path to empower Chinese people abroad. With the System’s forward-looking guidance, I lead my compatriots to Alaska to prospect for gold and build up capital for development; break into Wall Street and make precise investments, establishing an independent financial system for Chinese people; and secure the world’s key oil fields, gaining a voice in energy independence. As anti-Chinese sentiment surges, I stay true to my mission of protecting overseas Chinese. I safeguard their ocean shipping routes, build a global mutual-aid network, and do everything I can to protect their lives and property abroad. I have always believed that wherever the sun and moon shine and rivers flow, Chinese people deserve an equal place to stand. I will hold up a clear sky that can never be brought down for millions of my compatriots overseas.
