Reborn in 1988: A New Era of Rising

Based on the author’s own 40 years of real life after failing the college entrance exams, this book begins in a small, fourth-tier historic city. Against the backdrop of major events since the Reform and Opening Up, it revisits SARS, the copyright boom after China joined the WTO, the stock market craze, property speculation, finance, the internet, film and television, the G20, livestreaming, chips, artificial intelligence, and more. Drawing on real data from the times and stories that actually happened to people around the author, it takes a generation back through the ups and downs of those years, as they join the protagonist in making up for missed relationships, regrets, opportunities, and moments when the tide was rising... There are no absurd, brainless face-slapping scenes in this book, only the ups and downs of striving to build a remarkable life. It is full of the everyday warmth of ordinary life and the cutthroat battles of the business world, as well as moving and heartwarming moments of family, friendship, and love. Theme: We are not the dregs swept away by the times. Every one of us has lived through and helped lay the foundations of a newly rising era.
