Reborn in 1975: Starting at the Watermill

Zhou Zhifeng is reborn in 1975, an era when being poor is considered glorious. He's still a wayward young man who keeps getting set up and denied the chance to join the army. Starting from a dilapidated watermill, he quietly builds his strength. Only after the gaokao is reinstated does he finally make his explosive comeback, rising from a wastrel to a tycoon, and from Wufeng Village to the greatest village in the world. From there, he sets out on a path to becoming wealthy enough to rival a nation and serving his country through military industry. Wealth and power collide, while desire and redemption intertwine. This is a story of rising and breaking through in a changing era, spanning a century. 【A substantial, hard-hitting period novel. Early on, it's about farming and infrastructure; later, it's about serving the nation through industry. He bides his time at first, then erupts. Written to capture the texture of the era. Thank you for reading patiently.】
