1979: The Leisurely Life of a Literary Giant

Given a second chance at life, Chen Weidong looks at his newborn son, his three-year-old daughter, and the familiar yet distant village of his past, fully aware that he is no longer the reckless man he once was. Having squandered half a lifetime, he is determined to start over. With no grand ambitions from his past life, his only goals this time are to mend old regrets, set a good example for his daughter, help his son find a virtuous wife, and ensure his family lives in peace and happiness. To improve their living conditions, he simply picks up his pen to write for a bit of extra cash—never expecting to spark an unstoppable literary phenomenon.
