[Shore Foraging + Fishing Voyages + Protecting Family + Loyalty + Getting Rich]
In 1987, in Xiasha Village on the coast, people lived off the sea. But some poor families couldn't even afford the means to fish.
Chen Haisheng, who had grown up in an orphanage, died on the street after working too many sleepless nights in a row. When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn as the village's "idiot," Chen Haisheng, fast asleep in the Mazu Temple.
At twenty-two, he had no shoes and walked barefoot over a gravel road. His childhood illness had drained his family of everything, leaving them deep in debt and with barely any rice left at home.
His uncle's family had a boat and nets, and called him and his father out to sea to risk their lives for a catch. When a storm hit, he nearly died at sea. After they returned and sold the fish, he got not a single cent for his labor.
The world isn't all about fighting. It's about human relationships and knowing how things work.
Before setting out to sea, reborn Chen Haisheng bowed three times before the statue of Mazu.
"Mazu, please protect me at sea and bring me home safely!"
He would work to support this poor family...
