The Red Era: 1955

Stripped of any miraculous advantages or supernatural cheats, Chen Tiezhu wakes up to an unexpected reality: the year 1955, just six years after the founding of the new China. Confronted with bare walls, an empty rice jar, and a mere dusting of flour at the bottom of the sack, he lets out a long sigh, wondering how he is supposed to survive this harsh reality. Resigned to his fate, Tiezhu rolls up his sleeves to slowly build a modest home and nurture his family from the ground up. Decades later, when the doors of reform and opening-up finally swing wide, he plunges fearlessly into the new era, ultimately forging his own extraordinary path to success. Grounded in the authentic details of daily life, this heartwarming slice-of-life novel features a single-female romance and focuses on the genuine struggles and triumphs of ordinary living.
