I've Seen Them

In 2026, Lin Zhou, unemployed right after graduation, is seriously injured in a car accident while trying to save a little girl. As he lies unconscious, he hears a voice: “National Spirit Rescue System bound.” From the catastrophic floods of 1954 to the ruins of Tangshan in 1976, and then to Wenchuan in 2008... his soul is sent into one real disaster scenario after another. But he isn’t a savior. The skills the System gives him are only enough to make him a witness. All he can do is stand in the most dangerous places, see the true heroes for who they are, and remember them. Remember the village head who tore a door off its hinges to use as a boat. Remember the dam keeper who rode his bicycle through a torrential storm to deliver a message. Remember the schoolteacher whose back was on fire as she braced herself against the safety door. Remember the young soldier who asked a comrade to pass on a message before leaping into the flood. They lived and died without recognition, but Lin Zhou decides that he will make sure this country remembers them. “System notification: You have received 15 attribute points.” “That doesn’t matter.” “What matters is that I met someone today. His surname is Zhou.”
