In his previous life, Gu Heping was young and arrogant, thinking only of himself and his ambitions for fame and success. He completely neglected his wife and children. Absent for years, he left his wife, his companion through half a lifetime, lonely and feeling neglected. In the end, she worked herself sick and died young, while the rift between him and his child proved impossible to mend. His family was no longer a family.
Even after spending half his life building his career and amassing a fortune worth billions through his publicly listed company, he was left with nothing but endless remorse and bone-deep regret, unable to sleep peacefully night after night.
Then he awoke from a dream and found himself back in Beijing in 1980, before the tragedy had taken place. Burdened by guilt and carrying half a lifetime of experience and foresight from his previous life, he set aside his restless ambition. First, he would keep his family safe; then, he would seize the opportunities of the times.
Starting with a street stall, he built his business one steady step at a time, making up for every past failing and cherishing his wife and children. Riding the wave of reform, he steadily amassed wealth, protecting his family’s happiness while building a business empire. He put every old regret to rest, rose to the top, and became Beijing’s richest man, with a life complete at last.
