Rebirth: Technology Empowers the Nation

The life of Yuan Xia, CEO of Xingyuan Machinery, was legendary. Rising from an ordinary technician to the president of a Fortune 500 company, he spent his entire career battling foreign technological blockades. With an iron will and sharp market insight, he reached the pinnacle of his industry. Yet, at the height of his success, he suddenly passed away from overwork, shocking the nation and leaving countless hearts aching in regret. When Yuan Xia woke again, he found himself back in 1978—17 years old, his father dead on duty, his mother remarrying after taking the youngest siblings and his father’s compensation, and his elder sister, Yuan Qiu, critically ill. Yuan Xia told his mother, “Remarry if you must, but leave my siblings and Dad’s compensation behind!” This time, he would save his sister and never again allow this irresponsible woman and outsiders to mistreat his younger siblings. --- Yu Xingyi was in despair! The imported machine he’d spent a fortune on as a lifeline turned out to be a heap of scrap metal, older than his grandfather and unable to function. Just as his factory teetered on collapse, a pretty, frail-looking boy walked into the workshop: “I can fix it.” Under Yuan Xia’s deft hands, the ancient machine finally roared to life. Overjoyed, Yu Xingyi gripped Yuan Xia’s oil-stained hands: “Young man, thank you! Name your reward!” Misty-eyed, Yuan Xia gazed at the lover he’d once lost too young, silently vowing: *I want you! This time, I won’t yield you to anyone. We’ll live long lives together—witnessing the glory of China’s heavy industry.*
