1982: Making a Fortune by Fishing for Red Crabs

[Period Piece, Sea Foraging, Everyday Life, Farming, Devoted Husband]

Lin Haisheng, a seafood tycoon who spent forty years dominating the business world, wakes up back in 1982 in a small fishing village.

From the start, his wife hands him divorce papers, and he faces a desperate situation: she is about to take their daughter down to the shore to end their lives.

Looking at their drafty stone house and his hungry, tearful wife and daughter, Lin Haisheng grabs the battered bamboo creel and wire hook behind the door.

In an era when beachcombing for seafood is all down to luck, he's about to give the fishermen a king-of-the-sea-level shock from forty years in the future!

Premium giant green crabs, plump red crabs, mudskippers, wild large yellow croaker, red-lipped croaker, deep-sea giant grouper...

Reading the tide line, searching crab holes, setting longlines, diving at night, trawling...

As the tides ebb and flow, the sea's treasures are his for the taking!

From then on, the little fishing village has a beachcombing king who comes back with a full haul every time.

Fishmongers wave money around to snatch up his premium catch. The villagers turn green with envy at his boat packed with fish and shrimp, while his wife and daughter get to enjoy generous servings of braised pork and seafood feasts every day...

In this life, he'll wring every last bit of value from the sea and cherish his wife and child.

No posturing or face-slapping, just bountiful beachcombing and the warmth of everyday fishing-village life.
