After Thirty-Five Years Old, I Rebuild the World in the Mountains

At the age of thirty-five, Zhou Yi was laid off from the company. He lost not just his job, but his identity, platform and feeling of being needed. Just when he thought he would be quietly eliminated by the city like countless middle-aged people, a mysterious organization approached him. The other party doesn't ask about your age or past ranks, but only asks one thing: Do you have anything else you really want to do? In an old isolation compound that has been abandoned for many years in the mountains of Lincheng City, a secret "Xanadu" is taking shape. It is secretly promoted by a rich man whose identity is unknown, and relies on a team of "guides" across the country to find those who have been scrapped by mainstream society in advance but still have the ability and ambition. Agriculture, finance, chemical industry, IT, education, manufacturing... A group of unemployed, frustrated, and losers reunited here, trying to build a new platform that does not judge value based on age, and does not determine life or death based on failure. Some people rekindle their ideals here, some live peacefully for the first time here; Some people turn around and leave after becoming successful, while others choose to stay in the mountains their whole life. And when this community in the mountains gradually develops into a world with industry, education, medical care and the prototype of order, everyone must answer the same question: Are they escaping the old world or rebuilding a new one?
