Back to the 80s: From Coastal Foraging in a Fishing Village to Ruling the Oceans

Lin Yu, a seasoned sea-fishing enthusiast, is reborn in 1983 as an ordinary boy in a fishing village on the coast of northeastern China.

His family is poor, their house is dilapidated, and going without enough clothes and food is part of everyday life.

His mother struggles through the hardships of life, and his younger sister once nearly lost her life to illness.

Lin Yu is determined to shoulder the burden and become the family’s mainstay, setting out on a new journey toward a better life.

As the saying goes, live off the mountains if you live near mountains, and off the sea if you live near the sea. The vast ocean, with its shimmering blue waters and crashing waves, holds endless hope and promise.

Though he has no boat at first, Lin Yu finds another way. When the tide comes in, he catches fish in the waves; when it goes out, he combs the shore for seafood. Clams, scallops, oysters, crabs, prawns, Spanish mackerel, squid, yellow croaker... The bounty of the sea becomes his treasure trove for improving his family’s life.

On that boundless blue expanse, Lin Yu seizes the opportunities of his era and rides its waves, starting from a fishing village and gradually conquering the oceans!
