Reborn in the 1980s: Turning My Life Around One Street at a Time

In 1984, the first winds of reform were blowing, and opportunities were everywhere, though few could see them. Chen Jianghai, down on his luck and fired from the factory, was reborn and left his miserable past behind for good. With top-notch electronics repair skills, he spotted the opportunities of the times, setting up a stall to repair appliances, refurbishing secondhand electronics, and tapping into niche markets. From an empty house and crushing debt, he built a foothold and a business through his skills, protected his long-suffering wife, and rode the wave of the 1980s to turn his life around through hard work and rewrite his fate.
