Reborn in 1980: I Made a Fortune by Fishing at Sea

Reborn in 1980 + Period comeback + Protecting his wife and face-slapping + Leaving with nothing + Getting rich through fishing + Beautiful educated youth + Marriage before love + Feel-good story

Reborn in 1980 in a fishing village in southern Fujian, Chen Haisheng opens his eyes to find the educated youth Lin Wanqiu jumping into the river.

In his previous life, he was too cowardly to act and watched her drown.

This time, he charges into the river barefoot and pulls her out, declaring in front of everyone, "She did nothing wrong. Why should she die?"

The whole village calls him crazy, and his father threatens to break his legs. Chen Haisheng immediately splits from the family and leaves with nothing. "I'm marrying this woman, and that's final."

While everyone waits for him to starve, he ventures into Ghost-Fearing Shoal, holds his breath for over ten minutes, and finds a fish den. Boatloads of grouper, lobster, and abalone head home with him.

The fishmongers try to force down the price?

He takes his cart to the town's free market and doubles his profit instead.

Watch as a down-and-out fisherman uses his swimming skills and the right moment in history to give the beautiful educated youth a life in a broken-down melon shed that makes the whole village green with envy.
