Rebirth in 1978: the Technological Empire Begins with Translation

Zhou Mingyuan, a great translator of a generation, fell into ruin for half his life due to one wrong step after another, and passed away with endless regret for his wife and daughter. When he opened his eyes again, he was back at the crossroads that changed his destiny - in 1978, the notice that decided whether he would return to the city to be a worker or stay in his hometown to be a farmer was lying quietly on the table. This time, he tore up the mediocre road to the "iron rice bowl". Relying on the memory of being proficient in English, German and Russian in his previous life, he knocked on the door of opportunities of the times with a pen. A translation of "New Agricultural Technology from Foreign Countries" was exchanged for a huge sum of 180 yuan, which shocked the entire countryside. With the forward-looking vision of a scientific research enthusiast, he ignited the spark of technological innovation with a test tube. From energy-saving generators to low-cost drilling additives to plastic degradation technology that shocked the country, he used "black technologies" to build a moat that no one could match. With his accurate prediction of the pulse of business, he created his own business empire with abacus. From agricultural machinery parts stores to technology industrial companies, he used advanced business models to crush all speculators and competitors. This is a legendary story of a man who, after being reborn, used "translation" as his key, "scientific research" as his core, and "business" as his wings to make up for family ties, embrace his lover, and step by step at every node of the times, growing from a country boy to "the first technological entrepreneur in reform and opening up." When the daughter wrote in the composition: "My father used pens, test tubes and abacus to build a home for us." Zhou Mingyuan knew that this was the most glorious medal for his rebirth.
