The King of Junk in Jinghua

A rebirth story set in the city, with the satisfying flavor of a bygone era. A down-and-out man who once made a living collecting scrap is reborn in Beijing in the late 1970s. Drawing on his memories from his past life and his eye for antiques, he starts out collecting junk, builds his fortune by spotting overlooked treasures, keeps a low profile as a person but makes bold moves in business, and ultimately becomes Beijing's biggest antiques collector and a real-estate tycoon, all while staying true to his roots as a scrap collector. Finding hidden gems and delivering face-slapping comeuppances, keeping a low profile while showing off, winning the hearts of beautiful women, business rivalries, and patriotism.
