This novel is about a middle-aged man's survival experiment in realistic logic.
The income figures, urban commodity prices, and labor service prices in the book are all based on the actual levels of China's third- and fourth-tier cities in 2026. All the methods adopted by the protagonist—circulation of used goods, community labor services, medical escort services, and information arbitrage—are micro-business models that actually exist in reality.
The core intention of writing is not to provide a "counterattack template", but to show a possibility: how an ordinary person can re-establish connection with the world through observation, calculation and action after losing all external support.
The "connection" part may be more important than the "making money" part.
Finally, thank you to all those who still choose to start over at the age of fifty. Your existence makes the three words "possibility" still valid in reality.
Purpose: When a person is deprived of all social identity, what does he rely on to stand up again?
