   Lin Chen, a low-level food delivery rider with a "divine eye," struggles to make a living in the mire of urban life. Fines for late deliveries, difficult customers, and cutthroat competition from his peers—his meager salary barely sustains his precarious family, and even his last shred of dignity is shattered by reality. One stormy night, while delivering food, he risks losing all his wages to save an elderly stranger suffering a sudden heart attack, unexpectedly receiving a pair of unassuming black-rimmed glasses as a gift. The moment he puts them on, his dormant superpowers awaken—the ability to see through everything, perceive distant objects, discern truth from falsehood at a microscopic level, and even predict danger and see through people's hearts. His once arduous delivery route becomes the starting point for his dramatic change of fate. Avoiding traffic jams, thwarting scams, and distinguishing truth from falsehood, he uses his abilities to break free from life's shackles; finding lost items, uncovering conspiracies, and rescuing beauties—his upright character and extraordinary abilities earn him the favor of many women, and he unexpectedly stumbles upon an underground sleight of hand, becoming a target of both the legitimate and criminal worlds. From an unknown street rider to a fortune-teller who stumbles upon hidden gems in the antique market, achieves legendary status through precise stock market speculation, and survives near-death experiences amidst turbulent undercurrents, he uses his extraordinary eyes to tear apart the insidious web of the underworld, disrupt the upper echelons of the business world, gather connections, build power, and crush all those who looked down on him. When the ultimate secret of his glasses is revealed, he discovers he is the chosen inheritor of extraordinary abilities. Ultimately, with his unparalleled divine eyes, he ascends to the pinnacle of the city, transforming from a struggling nobody into a legend who controls the very fabric of the city.

    We're called migrant workers, also known as urban workers, new citizens, or urban floating population. These are names given to us by others; we don't call ourselves these. We call ourselves "fellow villagers," "fellow workers," "that guy from Guizhou," or "that guy from Sichuan." We eat squatting by the roadside, sleep in makeshift sheds listening to the rain, and during the Spring Festival, we carry burlap sacks and squeeze onto trains for thirty hours to go home. We've built so much in the city our whole lives: bridges, roads, buildings, subways. When the bridges opened, we weren't allowed to use them; when the roads were inaugurated, we weren't allowed to watch; when the buildings were finished, we couldn't afford to live in them. But we kept building, year after year, generation after generation. Some grew old while building, some got sick, and some never went home again. "Going South" is about our story. It's about how we left home, how we squatted in shelters waiting for dawn, how we gritted our teeth and sent our wages back home. It's about how we worked in the city for forty-five years, and when we finally returned to our villages, our pockets were still empty. But the book also says that the bridges, roads, and buildings we built have all survived. That's enough. Our lives weren't wasted. — A group of migrant workers who read "Going South"

    This story deeply recreates the daily lives of migrant workers, depicting the true survival of those who leave their hometowns. The latter half focuses on the lives of young people from small towns who migrate for work, perfectly reflecting the realities of ordinary migrant workers without any fantasy of sudden wealth or a miraculous comeback. The protagonist, Jiang Xin, leaves his hometown for a big city to make a living, squeezing into a cramped rental room, dealing with monotonous and repetitive work, and enduring the pressures of meager wages, high rent, and long commutes. The film realistically portrays the internal conflicts in the workplace, the loneliness of being far from family and friends, the brief returns home for holidays, and the disparity in living standards among his peers—all familiar details of daily life for migrant workers. He carries meager hopes as he struggles away from home, his youthful ambition worn down by life, slowly accepting his ordinary reality and reluctantly compromising with circumstances. Without dramatic plots, it simply depicts the exhaustion, confusion, and struggle of daily life as a migrant worker. The film's portrayal of the era, survival challenges, and the loneliness of being a stranger in a foreign land is delicate and relatable, vividly capturing the hardships and ordinariness of ordinary people leaving their hometowns to make a living, immersing the viewer in the long and helpless journey of a migrant worker.

    Seeking reviews for his new book: When an alien fleet surrounds Earth, Li Wei rushes to produce a "Feasibility Report on Transforming Human Civilization into a High-Value Strategic Asset." Three months later, the Solar System Development Group (SSDG) is listed on the Imperial Science and Technology Innovation Board, with Li Wei as CEO. The hawkish general is dumbfounded: "What I wanted was purification, not an IPO!" Li Wei pushes up his glasses: "General, destroying a civilization is a cost, listing a civilization is an asset. Your KPIs need updating." His daily operations include, but are not limited to: writing an investment report with a 220% ROI to build flush toilets for employees; packaging "watching Tom and Jerry on Fridays" as a "Cross-Civilizational Understanding Synchronous Seminar"; using "employee satisfaction surveys" to resolve public relations crises, resulting in a fleet talk show; issuing "Solar Coins" as internal incentives, anchored to... The commander's mahjong table? This is a hardcore workplace survival story of using KPIs to fight against star destroyers and using budget sheets to write a plan to prolong civilization's life. It's also a record of top-tier workers frantically fixing bugs in front of clients using a vendor's mindset.
