- 1 China Chic 1980 国潮1980 (The author's previous book, I Got Kicked by Time, is complete.) What incredible miracles would a modern-day swindler, notorious for ripping off countless people, create if his soul suddenly transmigrated forty years into the past? What kind of life would he lead? It all begins in 1980, beneath the archway at Qianmen in the capital. It begins with an orphan named Ning Weimin, living in abject poverty...

Though he was a descendant of the Han imperial clan, and his ancestors had once served as the Three Excellencies, the family had fallen on hard times by now. His father had died long ago, and his elder brother had just passed away. All that remained were his stepmother and young siblings, his widowed sister-in-law and orphaned nephew.
