The Soul Returns to Qilu and a Thousand-Year Dream

Yang Yuan, 43 years old, is from Qilu, China. His Internet business failed, he is heavily in debt, and his wife and children are separated. When he accompanied his daughter to the Qilu Museum for the last time, he fainted and began a soul journey spanning 2,500 years. As the "third party", he can see and hear, but cannot touch, speak, or intervene in history. He witnessed the key moments in the lives of seven Qilu sages: Confucius' tenacity when his mother died at the age of ten, his decision to "dedicate himself to learning" at the age of fifteen, Chen Cai's calmness in playing the piano even when he was out of food; Mozi's persistence in walking for ten days and ten nights to stop the Chu and attack the Song Dynasty, and his insistence on drawing flood control plans before his death; Mencius' maternal love when he moved three times when he was young, his responsibility in lobbying other countries, and his self-confidence in "Who else would you rather me?"; Fang Xuanling's decision to visit the army with a staff and recruit talents Wang Xizhi's foresight, his loyalty in admonishing Liaodong before his death; Wang Xizhi's honesty in bed, Mochi's diligence in learning books, and his free and easy resignation; Yang Yuan saw the same answer from them: a person should do one thing in his life, do what he thinks he should do, no matter how difficult it is, no matter whether it is useful or not, no matter whether it can be done or not. After waking up, he finally understood: The inheritance flowing in his blood was not the dogma in the book, but the confidence that flowed from the bottom of his heart when he was desperate - the confidence to "do it even if you know it cannot be done". This time he chose not to escape!
