The Tide Returns

A grain of ashes of the times falls on an individual's head, and it becomes a mountain. But the backbone of a group of people can hold up a new sky. In the autumn of 1997, the cold wave of the Asian financial crisis swept southward. The factory where young Yu Zhizhou and his fellow villagers worked collapsed overnight. The Hong Kong boss ran away and lost all his wages. The prosperity of the city instantly abandoned them. In despair, some chose to return to the barren countryside, while others continued to wander like duckweeds. Yu Zhizhou chose to stay. At the bottom of the city, he set up a street stall, rode a three-wheeler, and tasted the warmth and warmth of human kindness. However, in a desperate situation, he seized the small business opportunities brought by the popularization of VCD and struggled to gain a foothold. However, an experience of returning to his hometown for a funeral completely changed the trajectory of his life. Witnessing the decline of his hometown and the hardship of his neighbors under the changing times, his dream of "personal wealth" was replaced by "collective responsibility". In 1999, he made a surprising decision: to return to his hometown.
