Reminiscing About Mountains and Rivers

Six years after the disaster, a geomagnetic storm destroyed all electronic equipment, and civilization returned to the steam age overnight. The heroes are divided and the warlords are fighting each other. The five "Authorization Letters for National Reconstruction" have become the only legal basis for unifying the world. And one of them is hidden in a person's body. The protagonist is implanted with five biological keys-the palm of his left hand, the iris of his right eye, the heart valve, the spinal nerves, and the temporal lobe of the brain. Every time he unlocks a key, he will broadcast his coordinates to the whole country and become the target of all forces. What's even more cruel is that every time he unlocks a key, he will permanently lose one of his most important memories. Mother's face. The voice of first love. Eighteen-year-old rooftop. What he fights for. He is exchanging "who I am" for "what I can do." His first love, Shen Tang, was the chief psychological warfare officer who was chasing him. His savior was the first person to take his life. His biological father only wanted his body parts. The seventy-two hour countdown has begun. All forces are running wildly on the ruins. And he stood in the ruins of the Old City Middle School, his left palm was burning, his right eye was blurring, and the memories of mangoes and rooftops in his mind were peeling off piece by piece. When all five keys were unlocked, he stood in the center of the old capital and announced the unification—— Is he still the boy who wanted to "make the country a better place" when he was eighteen years old? Or a perfect, cold, unified machine with no past? This is a story about memory and forgetting. About exchanging forgetfulness for unity, and using fragments to piece together mountains and rivers. About a man who kills himself first to save everyone.
