Unemployed and Back in College: I Bet on the Next Twenty Years of the Internet

A 40-year-old unemployed programmer was crushed under layoffs, mortgage payments, his son's education, and gossip back in his village, until he unexpectedly returned to his college dorm in 2004. He had just 312 yuan in his pocket, a notice about make-up exams on his desk, and his mother was about to fall seriously ill. This time, he would earn his first fortune through the cracks in campus internet cafes and BBS forums, ride the twenty-year waves of e-commerce, mobile internet, the industrial internet, and AIGC, and turn his entire family and hometown around.
