…
On his deathbed, Chen Haisheng lies on a hard bed in a nursing home. He has lived his whole life alone and miserable, a poor old bachelor through and through.
When he opens his eyes again, he is back in the late autumn of 1979.
That year, his father dies at sea, and his mother, unable to bear the poverty, remarries.
That year, greedy relatives seize the ancestral red-brick house and fishing boat. They knock him unconscious with a club and drive him into a drafty stone shack by the sea.
His family is so poor they can’t even put a pot on the stove, and the only person by his side is a pretty widow with a child, who nevertheless grits her teeth and carries him home.
Chen Haisheng sits on a tattered fishing net and stares into the distance for a long time.
In his previous life, he was far too timid.
He not only missed the golden decade of getting rich through coastal fishing in the 1980s, but also let down the women who had shown him tenderness amid the mud and hardship.
Given another chance at life, armed with sixty years of experience in ocean fishing and a pair of eyes that can see beneath the water, Chen Haisheng swears:
He will haul up piles of big unity notes from the sea!
He will make amends, one by one, to everyone and everything he once let down.
The pretty widow with no one to rely on, the aloof young educated woman who suffers constant bullying, the overlooked manager of a state-run restaurant...
This time, he will leave no regrets!
…
P.S. This is the story of a coastal fisherman’s wild rise.
It starts with foraging along the shore for abalone and netting large yellow croaker.
This book is good, well written, worth reading, please work hard.
