Reborn in 2000, starting from the university website

In the winter of 2000, the collapse of the internet bubble swept the globe. Forty-five-year-old Bai Yuhang, after a plane crash, was reborn as a freshman at Harbin Institute of Technology. Holding the memories of twenty-six years into the future, he saw an era brimming with opportunity yet fraught with peril. "In this life, I will ignite the first fire in the dead of winter." From three internet cafes to the homepages of thousands of internet cafes across Northeast China. From rudimentary navigation sites to a portal to all platforms. From a hundred yuan in start-up capital to his first advertising revenue and the first investment institution knocking on his door… In this life, he not only wants to make up for all the opportunities he missed in his previous life—search engines, social networks, mobile internet, cloud computing, artificial intelligence… but also, with his brothers who were disappointed in his previous life and his partners reunited in this one, he will personally build a world-class technological empire in an era of uncertainty. The era is like a slow-moving green train, and he will be the one holding the steering wheel. "If rebirth isn't for changing the world, then it's meaningless." —Bai Yuhang
