As the bells rang in the new century, Gu Enxing returned to 1966 with memories of a horrific past.
Although his maternal grandfather had already been sent away for labor reform, his mother had not yet been publicly denounced, his father and eldest brother had not yet suffered the loss of an arm, his second brother was still in the army and had not gone missing, his third sister had not married an abusive scumbag, his fourth brother had not died unjustly, and he himself had not been murdered and left as a lone soul to drift through the world for decades. The tragedies of his past life had only just begun. There was still time to change everything.
From forging letters to reveal his grandfather's whereabouts to his family, to setting up a plan to help his mother avoid public denunciation, to laying long-term plans for the family to flee to the northwest during those turbulent years...
In this life, Gu Enxing used what he knew from his previous life, carefully planning every step to turn the tide and protect his family amid the waves of the times.
Meanwhile, his second brother Gu Enhe had always quietly watched over him. There was a meaning in his eyes that Gu Enxing had never noticed in his previous life. His protection in one crisis after another, and his companionship through every storm, gradually helped Gu Enxing understand that being reborn was not just a gift, but an opportunity.
In the sunshine after the storms, the whole family stood together, each making the most of their talents as they devoted themselves to building the country and growing their careers. And Gu Enxing's relationship with Gu Enhe quietly shifted from fighting side by side to spending their lives together.
“Reaching for the sky” means both defying fate after glimpsing heaven's secrets and standing shoulder to shoulder with family, growing together into a towering tree that cannot be shaken, rooted in the world.
P.S. The gong, second brother Gu Enhe, was adopted and is not related to the shou by blood.
Message: A harmonious family brings prosperity in all things.
