In his previous life, in 2024, he was destitute. He spent his whole life doing odd jobs in factories. In his thirties, his wife had no choice but to run away. His father-in-law went around telling everyone he was useless. His daughter had to drop out of school because they had no money and married young. He spent his old age living alone, then died of a stroke in a shabby little house because he couldn't afford treatment.
He opens his eyes and is reborn in the height of summer, 1982. He is 28, and it is the very day the family has run out of food, his wife is being pressured by her family to divorce him, and his father-in-law has come over to force him to sign the papers.
