    No system, no cheat codes, no exaggerated speculation—this is the pinnacle of period fiction. It doesn't involve stamp speculation, stock market manipulation, climbing the social ladder, or resorting to empty, formulaic plot devices. It simply depicts the most authentic everyday life in the compound, the purest romance of the era, and the most genuine youthful infatuation. True rebirth is about seizing the opportunities of the times. The protagonist starts in 1994, riding the wave of the computer and internet revolution, from computer training and fluctuating memory prices to the early internet, BBS forums, the nascent e-commerce, and the mobile internet boom… step by step, steadily moving forward. No exaggeration, no unrealistic plots, no cheat codes. The struggles and youth of this generation of ordinary people deserve to be remembered.
