Reborn in 2015: A Young Man’s All-In Bet on the Market Bottom

At twenty-nine, he went all in with borrowed money: 8.41 million yuan, two limit-down days, and a forced liquidation. Standing on the rooftop of a thirty-three-story building, he saw one last message on his phone, sent by his fiancée: "I'll wait for you." He jumped. When he opened his eyes again, it was May 2015, the summer after his final year of high school. He had just 912 yuan in his pocket, one summer, and the entire eleven-year market history he'd memorized in his previous life. There were thirty-seven days until the market hit 5,178.19. He remembered every major peak, every bottom, every deadly candlestick. But in his past life, he got the direction right every time and the timing wrong. In the end, he still jumped from a rooftop. Because the market doesn't reward those who know the answers. It rewards those who can keep their hands under control. In this life, he won't chase rallies, panic-sell, borrow money, or use leverage. He earns tuition by filling in at an English class. When the market crashes, he scoops up bloodied shares at the limit-down price. From watching stocks at his dorm-room bedside to Qixia Road in Jinling, he and his brother Dong Mancang turn the accounts of two poor boys into the youngest hot-money traders in the city. The extra food his brother brings back, the cigarettes he offers, and the girl who only asks him, "What do you do when you're under pressure?" Everything he lost in his last life, he won't let go of this time. Friendship, love, and family come first. Stocks and money are just bonuses for those who understand the rules. The market is always right. Life isn't.
