In 1910, Chen Yan woke up in the workshop of Hanyang Iron Works.
He knew that the Revolution of 1911, the May 4th Movement and the Northern Expedition were coming, but he could not save the worker who was bitten by the machine in front of him, nor could he answer a more realistic question: Where will tomorrow's food come from?
Without a system, there is no inexhaustible wealth. All Chen Yan can rely on is memory, a charcoal pen, and a group of ordinary people who want to write their names into history.
