Reborn in the Age of the Great Writer

Haunted by the regret of watching someone slip away between life and death, Lin Chen is reborn as a boy. Arriving from the future, he finds himself in 2008, amid the sandy countryside of Qidong, Jiangsu. Beneath the facade of a poor student who excels in some subjects but fails in others, he picks up pen and paper, hoping to earn a little money through writing and protect the father risking his life to support the family on a construction site in Shanghai. The noisy campus, the tender worries of young love, a teacher's guidance, and opportunities brought by the tide of the times all come one after another. Through it all, he remains clear-eyed: applause is fleeting, but his family's safety is where his heart belongs.
