Sky Screen: History Replayed Across the Heavens

Question: What should you do if you find an app that pays you to watch videos?

Lin Zhou's answer: Take advantage of it first.

What began as a side hustle became his main job. He went from watching videos after work to watching them all day. Lin Zhou's life was simple and dull: get up, watch videos, collect money, order takeout, and keep watching.

What he didn't know was that every video he watched was being broadcast live above the clouds in another time and space.

Flowers laid at the tomb of unknown martyrs left Moscow silent in 1935.

The story of Pavel Korchagin inspired a paralyzed writer to pick up his pen again.

The frozen soldiers of Changjin Lake made the loudest charge ever heard ring out across the battlefield in 1950.

Color footage of the founding ceremony sent cheers soaring above Tiananmen Square in 1949.

History was thrown into chaos, and forces around the world frantically investigated the source of the sky screen.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhou, the man who had started it all, didn't notice any of this. He was just thinking: This video only paid me 150 today? What a loss.

The most outrageous changes to history often come from the simplest desire to make money.
