Reborn in '81: Marrying the Beautiful Educated Youth

In 1981, Lin Changqing was a good-for-nothing layabout who assaulted a female educated youth on the verge of returning to the city. But having been reborn, he is determined to make amends for his past life's regrets and give Su Qing the bright future she deserves. He resolves to marry her—no matter the cost. A hefty bride price, the coveted "three turns and one ring" (a bicycle, sewing machine, watch, and radio)—one obstacle after another stands in their way. No one believes in this mismatched union, and no one trusts that the once-lazy Lin Changqing can ever support a family. Yet the reborn Lin Changqing is a changed man. Shedding his old idleness, he seizes the opportunities of the era, steadily building his fortune step by step—and fulfilling every promise he makes with action.
