Rebirth: Chronicle of Japan 1946

Chen Yu, a modern social animal, was unexpectedly reborn. His soul traveled through Tokyo, Japan after its defeat in 1946, and became Takeru Sato, a young man whose parents had died and who was dependent on his young sister. In Japan at that time, the embers of war were still raging, most of Tokyo was reduced to scorched earth, food was extremely scarce, inflation was rampant, the US military was stationed for control, the old order collapsed, and the people struggled to survive in hunger, despair and humiliation. With the memory and historical knowledge of later generations, he is in a desperate situation of starvation and danger. He must not only protect his frail sister, but also struggle to survive in the dangers of the black market, material shortages, and social turmoil. He must also seize the hidden opportunities of post-war reconstruction on this broken island land, avoid the many traps in the torrent of the times, and step by step from a down-and-out young man who is struggling to survive, to establish a foothold in the ruined world and write his own survival legend.
