Two thousand years ago, the alchemist Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls and sailed from Langya Port into the sea. Since then, there has been no news.
Official history says that he sought immortality for the First Emperor, and unofficial history says that he became king in Japan. However, archeology has discovered East Asian symbols and genes from the same period as the Qin and Han Dynasties in the American continent.
When all the clues are connected, a buried truth emerges:
He did not die in the sea, nor did he settle in a corner.
He first left the spark of civilization in Japan, and then used the Kuroshio Current to reach the American continent.
His dream of being an emperor was shattered by the punishment of a volcano, but in the wilderness, he became a civilized ferryman connecting two continents.
This is an epic about ambition and redemption, and it is also a code of civilization that has been forgotten by history.
What he crossed was not the sea, but the dream of a country that he would never let go of throughout his life.
In the end, I realized that what he crossed was civilization, not him.
Purpose: Drawing on the millennium legend of Xu Fu's eastward journey, we explore the limitations of single records in history books and explore the choices of ambition and redemption, conquest and inheritance; write about the original intention of the ancients to spread the civilization of the Central Plains across mountains and seas, and reflect on the importance of the obsession with fame and wealth versus the fire of civilization.
