Santa Monica in 1995 was far less lively and prosperous than Towne remembered.

In a dream, the dazed and overwhelmed Towne finally "woke up" at midnight on the fourth day after three days and three nights of lying and thinking.

In fact, from the moment he opened his eyes again, the former post-80s, the old drama bone "Town" who had been wasting half his life had been completely annihilated in the dust.

The difference between Tang En and Tang En is one word, but they are separated by two time and space, but it is only because of the touch at a certain point in the mysterious time and space interlacing that the two meet and merge.

That's right, it's not rebirth, it's two distinct memories that pour into each other, fragment and then merge to reshape thinking and memory.

In this life-and-death contest, the old driver crushed the little rookie, and Towne replaced the Chinese boy "Little Done" with an extraordinary background, unique experience, but jealousy of talent, and walked his future life journey for him.

It's just that the rich experience of more than 30 years in the previous life and the growth memories of this completely strange American boy are intertwined and mixed, and the two completely different thinking consciousnesses suddenly collide violently, just like a lump of numb rubbing repeatedly, the more I want to sort out the clues as soon as possible, the more entangled I become, so that I turn upside down and repeat myself, causing confusion in my thinking, and the whole person is in a state of chaos like a dream.

This entanglement is like a generation gap between father and son, not only the generation gap, but also the very different cultural inheritances of the two continents, as well as the huge differences in life, emotion and language communication.

These contradictions and conflicts need time to be run-in, digested, and adapted, to seek unity in the contradictions, and to find the convergence point of integration between the two sides in the chaotic and complex ideological struggle.

After a lot of nightmares, as consciousness returned, the middle-aged uncle "Towne" from the 20s of the 21st century in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean with complete memories finally merged with the current native Chinese-American boy "Little Done".

finally sorted out his head and thought about the path he wanted to take in the future, so "Little Done" chose to "wake up" in the dead of night.

Moving his stiff and sore limbs, Jerry Donn gradually adapted to the youthful body full of youthful vitality and explosive strength, and awakened the memories of the fusion.

…………

Done Jr., full name: Jerry Donn, alias: Donn Jr., is seventeen years and eight months old.

Although this child is an out-and-out rich third generation, his growth experience is very special.

Born less than a year old, his father was tragically killed in the worst plane crash in modern times in the United States, and his mother is a tough, independent and strong career woman, who is busy with work all year round, so that Jerry has lived with his grandparents since he was a child.

Jerry's grandfather, Tang En Sr., is an authentic Chinese, who practiced martial arts with his master in the Taoist temple before the age of sixteen, and joined the national army after leaving the school, fighting devils with blood.

In just a few years, the old Tang En was promoted to the head of the colonel, and his boss valued him very much, not only married his daughter to him, but also recommended him to study in the Wudu National Government.

After a short period of study, the elder Tang En was appreciated by Chen Cheng, who was then the deputy chief of staff, and not only stayed in the National Defense Agency, a high-ranking official, but also accepted two aunts, and in 1944 he was sent to the United States Military Academy at West Point to learn new military tactics.

After returning to China three years later, the little devil had been driven out of China, and the civil war was about to break out.

However, instead of the joy of being promoted and making a fortune, the elder Tang was filled with righteous indignation and full of anger, because his parents, relatives and friends all died in the war, his three wives were killed and two were injured, the wife of the main house was killed by the bombing, and the two aunts and wives were helpless during his study abroad, and they were displaced in the war, causing his two-year-old son to starve to death in the wilderness.

By the time Old Don found them, both of them had severe tuberculosis (tuberculosis), and the original family of more than forty people was finally left with him and two concubines who were riddled with serious diseases.

The cruel reality of being promoted to an official position and getting rich and his family ruined made the old Tang En disheartened, so the following year, with the help of the opportunity of the national army sending a visiting delegation to negotiate with the United States for the purchase of weapons and equipment, the old Tang En carried a lot of gold and silver hard currency, secretly took his two aunts and wives to the United States with their families, and settled down.

After the end of World War II, the elder Downe married the youngest daughter of the old Gannett family, joined the Democratic Party, moved his family from San Francisco to Manhattan, New York, joined the army again, and also entered the United States Marine Corps with the rank of colonel.

Although the elder Don married an American wife, he did not abandon his two aunts, tried his best to treat them, and still lived together after recovery.

What is amazing is that Done Jr.'s American grandmother is not only jealous, but also gladly accepts the two Chinese "sisters", and what is even more incredible is that she also stuffed her two best friends to her husband Donn Sr.

This move caused a huge sensation in the aristocratic circles of New York at the time, making the elder Tange a man of the year on the island of Manhattan in the fifties.

Since then, the Don family has begun to branch, gradually forming the prototype of a large family.

In the mid-sixties, the elder Tang retired and invested in real estate development and finance, and invested in the oil and energy industry, making several successful investments.

In the seventies, the elder Tang entered the U.S. government, participated in financial management, gradually increased his popularity within the Democratic Party, and introduced his eldest son (Jerry's father) into financial management affairs.

After Jerry's father was killed, the elder Tang resigned and went home in sorrow, while enjoying the joy of family, teaching Jerry to learn literature and martial arts, while increasing various investments, leading the whole family to move towards a first-class family.

At the same time, Jerry's uncles and aunts also entered the family business one after another to hone their qualifications, and then each founded or invested in a popular industry, and each had a business of his own after more than a decade.

After the nineties, the Tang family gradually faded out of the public eye and slowly precipitated, which is the mature temperament and profound heritage that only the big family has.

Of course, this is also due to the introverted nature of the Chinese people who hide deep in their bones and "do not show their wealth".

The sense of crisis of "shooting the first bird with a gun" has become the survival concept and code of conduct of all Chinese.

The Donn family has always kept a low profile in their personal life, and apart from the occasional news of large-scale financial investments, their private lives are almost never reported.

Despite its lack of fame, the entire family is running on a rapid development track, and the family is growing in power.

It is worth mentioning that Jerry's father and two uncles were born to American grandmothers, and the two aunts are the daughters of two other Chinese grandmothers, who live in the United Kingdom and Australia, and both of them have their own businesses and families.

For more than a decade, the Don family's investment and industrial companies have been overseen and managed by a highly vetted and professional management team.

Over time, an unwritten rule has been formed, that is, family members are not allowed to directly participate in the day-to-day management of the family business, and without the authorization of the patriarch, they are not allowed to embezzle the liquidity and stock equity of any investment enterprise to conduct private transactions.

Therefore, the descendants of the Don family are very independent, and they live a good life before the age of eighteen, and they have no worries about food and clothing, but they must support themselves when they become adults, and the help that the family can provide is limited to a start-up capital, also known as a start-up fund.

This is the mantra that Old Don often puts on his lips: "Help the horse, send another ride, the Don family does not raise rice worms!"

It is precisely because of the old Donn's tough style that Jerry Donn has endured hardships since he was a child, he was literate at the age of three, stood on the pile at the age of five, practiced martial arts at the age of six, continued to practice martial arts after the age of seven, and went to school at a private boys' high school in Manhattan until the age of seventeen, except for fine clothes and food, he had almost no entertainment and private space, and spent every moment under the supervision of his grandfather and bodyguards.

Perhaps because he had been suppressed for too long, Jerry Towne was going to enter Harvard University to study business administration at the end of the summer vacation this year, and the elder Donn rarely indulged him and let him go to Los Angeles to spend the summer vacation with his mother.

Jerry's mother, Mrs. Sally, not only took over her husband's unfinished business after his death, but was also a professor in the Department of Film and Television Production at the University of California.

Jerry Donn arrived in Santa Monica to get ready for the holidays, just in time for his mother to go to France for a three-month seminar on film and television production in Europe and the United States.

So the plan could not keep up with the change, and as soon as Lady Sally left, the foal was turned into a wild horse in the blink of an eye.

Jerry Towne finally had his first carefree holiday before his eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony, with no more endless nagging from his descendants.

The sea and the sky leap with the fish, and the sky is high for the birds to fly!

Unexpectedly, Jerry Donne, who flew solo for the first time, broke his wings, but fortunately he was successfully taken over by the old driver of another time and space, otherwise, the entire Donn family would inevitably turn on their backs and set off a monstrous wave that swept Los Angeles.

Anyone who knows the history of Donne's family knows that although the old Don is already in his old age, he is not hunched back, his eyes are not dazzled, his face is ruddy, and his spirit is strong, and it is not a problem to live for another twenty years.

And the biggest regret of Old Tangen's life is that his two eldest sons died one after another, one died of starvation on the way to escape when he was less than three years old, and the other died in a plane crash when he was in his thirties.

The former was unavoidable during the war years, and the latter, that is, Jerry's father, could actually be avoided, because Old Don had a team of elite bodyguards in his hands that had been tempered by war, so he was dedicated to honing his son at that time, so he didn't send the bodyguards to his eldest son as soon as possible, and the result was ...... There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and white-haired people send black-haired people.

It is based on the psychology of making up for regret that the elder Don transferred all the guilt of his two sons who died young to his eldest grandson, Jerry.

Jerry is not the only member of the Done family, he has two uncles, two aunts, a cousin, four cousins and cousins, and even more cousins.

But when Jerry was one year old, the old Don gave him the name "Little Donne", which is the only descendant of the whole family with the same name as the old man, because Jerry's grandfather has lived in the United States for 50 years and has never taken an English name, his name is the family name - Donn, since the seventies, people who know him have called him "Old Donne".
