Chapter 1: A New Life

Summer in Seoul is always hot and rainy, and sometimes the sun is always accompanied by raindrops. The sky was clear an hour ago, but now it's raining heavily.

Located in the city of Seoul. In recent years, Apgujeong in Namgu has developed into one of Seoul's most famous shopping districts, selling high-end consumer goods, mostly imported from Europe and the United States, and has become an indicator of Korean fashion trends.

The shops, restaurants, and hotels in this area are mainly for wealthy people, so they are all relatively upscale. Cheongdam-dong is not only the "No. 1 street that leads Korean fashion", but has recently become an iconic art market. Korea's largest art market is being formed here, and there is a trend of forming a "new art Silicon Valley" with new concept galleries such as famous domestic and foreign galleries, art auction companies, art fund companies, and foreign galleries.

Although it rained, it didn't affect the bustling atmosphere at all.

Fortunately, when she came out of her sister's house, her sister brought an umbrella so that she would not get wet from the rain. It's been a month since I woke up in this space world.

Originally, he was a Chinese in 2013, but now his soul has miraculously descended on South Korea in 2009.

More than a month ago, the owner of his body had just been discharged from the army, and on the way home, he was in a coma for nearly a week because he saved an old man who was about to be hit by a car crossing the road, and his head was concussed and comatose for nearly a week.

Although he retains the memory of his ex, his soul is the one who dominates, so there are still a lot of discomforts in life during the time he just woke up.

Fortunately, he could use the medically diagnosed memory impairment as an excuse to avoid more unnecessary trouble. After all, he is a soul who accepts this Chinese cultural thought in his bones, and in such a strange country in another worldly space, if he wants to integrate into the social environment here so easily, his life habits still have some days to go.

In my memory, his name is Chen Jaetian, born in '86, now 23 years old, his father died early due to illness, and his mother lives alone at home in Busan Metropolitan City. He also has an older sister, his sister is married, and his brother-in-law is a famous Korean director, because he is a single-parent family and he is still young, so his sister and brother-in-law take care of him very much. He graduated from Busan International High School, and his grades since he was a child have been a mess, and he is completely a social gangster, and it is not a credit to his brother-in-law that he can study at Busan International High School. After graduating from high school, he was assigned by his family to serve in the military for 26 months, and his wish was, of course, that he could learn the strict discipline and rules of life in the army. Serving in the military at such a young age of twenty-one is indeed rare in South Korea.

You must know that military service in South Korea is a very hard thing, boys go to military service and the family will be very sad, the first year is particularly hard, in addition to no holidays, but also need to endure the inhuman abuse of the commander and seniors, in the last memory fragment, Chen Zaitian can clearly recall that the original owner of this body has seen many seniors and seniors abuse subordinates and juniors when they were serving in the military, disguised corporal punishment, doing coolies to seniors, and sometimes even being beaten. But fortunately, the original owner of Chen Zaitian's body was not a peaceful and cowardly person, but he was not bullied much, and the reason for this can only be asked to look down slowly.

And Chen Zaitian's previous life - B city time on April 20, 2013 at 8:02 a.m. Anshi Lushan. A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the prefecture. The depth of the epicenter is 13 km. The epicenter was about 100 kilometers away from Chengdu. Chengdu, CQ and ShanX's Baoji, Hanzhong, Ankang and other places all felt strong tremors. According to Ya. The emergency response office of the An'an Municipal Government reported that more than 99% of the houses in Longmen Township, Lushan County, the epicenter, collapsed, the health center and inpatient department stopped working, and the water and electricity were cut off. As of 10 a.m. on April 24, 2013, a total of 4,045 aftershocks occurred, including 103 aftershocks of magnitude 3 or higher, and the largest aftershock of magnitude 5.7. The affected population was 1.52 million, covering an area of 12,500 square kilometers. According to the website of the China Earthquake Administration, as of 14:30 on the 24th, the earthquake caused a total of 196 deaths, 21 missing people, and 11,470 injuries. After the earthquake, SC Province immediately activated the first-level emergency procedures, and the troops of the military region urgently dispatched 2,000 people to Lushan, and two helicopters have taken off. At present, the Red Cross has allocated 500 tents to the affected areas. At this moment, the hearts of the Chinese people are united, one side is in trouble and all sides are supporting, and the people of the whole country and the people of Ya'an will always stand together.

As a member of the youngest provincial leadership team in SC Province, Chen Zaitian, who was 34 years old in his previous life, immediately followed provincial government officials to the front line to carry out disaster relief work.

In such a country deeply affected by the feudal system for more than 2,400 years, in a society of bureaucracy, collusion between officials and businessmen, and trading of money and power, Chen Zaitian admits that he is not the most noble and good official. But at least he still feels worthy of his conscience, he has been highly educated and influenced by foreign cultural ideas, and he has always been very serious in serving the people and doing his duty well.

In fact, since his father became a professional, he has been destined for this extraordinary life.

After graduating from high school at the age of eighteen, he studied at CQ University for two years, studied in the United Kingdom at the age of twenty, and returned to China at the age of twenty to apply for the national civil service examination at the age of 24. So far, under the guidance of his father's relationship and his own ability, his career in SC Province has been smooth sailing, flat and singing.

In the past ten years, he has climbed step by step from a small county cadre to the provincial leadership, and such a young government leader is not a rare figure in the southwest region.

His father is naturally happy and satisfied with all aspects of him, and the only thing that gives him a headache may be Chen Zaitian's marriage.

At the age of thirty-four, he has never had a girlfriend since he returned to China, let alone talked about marriage.

Since ancient times, there have been sayings in China that 'men should get married, and women should marry' and 'start a family first and then start a business'. This is perhaps the biggest obstacle for every parent to their children after they become adults.

For the vast majority of Chinese, this is a very special thing. It is a great wish to pass on the ancestry and blood lineage. You may not care in words, but when you become a father, you still identify with the idea of this historical significance.

After all, Chen Zaitian is not yet a father, and he actually agrees with this point of view verbally and in his heart. It's not that he hasn't pursued girls, and in the three years he studied in the UK, he fell in love with a British girl.

His father is a provincial official, his mother is a teaching teacher, in a modern scholarly family, Chen Zaitian's tutor has always been very strict, and he is not a bold man who is good at confessing his feelings, and there are some Chinese modesty and shyness in his bones. In the emotionally open foreign country for three years of silent crush, except for the reality that the other party has changed a few boyfriends, he has nothing to gain.

Sometimes, when he stayed awake all night and drank quietly, he would always cheer himself up in his heart and decide to bravely confess to that girl tomorrow. But when he woke up the next day and faced the girl from afar, he lost his courage again.

Ten years have passed, and the girl is still in his heart. It's not that he loves that girl so much, how much he loves her. After so many years of turbid social and political officialdom in China, he understands that he is more nostalgic for that youthful time, that moment of emotional innocence, and regrets his emotional cowardice and concerns.

He longed to have feelings and embrace love, but unfortunately, at that time, he would never be able to find that affection again. His youth is gone, and he has lost the best moments of his memory.

Perhaps this is what people say, 'No one is perfect, no one is perfect'. The success of his career corresponds to his emotional blankness.

Reading, writing, singing, and drawing became his favorite in his daily life.

In fact, these are not the likes he wants. But in China, if you do become a leader in a government, you understand Chen's situation. Social status, work environment, and interpersonal environment will make it impossible for you to enrich your spare time in public places.

He remembered that there was a high school reunion one year, because he knew that he was coming, the hotel owner didn't know how many drinks and dishes he had delivered, and the former classmates didn't know how many flattering words they said, and the whole party had completely changed its taste, not what he thought in his heart.

Instead of going to this kind of boring and helpless place, it is better to read calligraphy, painting and painting at home and surf the Internet. Over time, I read more books, understood more and didn't understand, and I also had some background in literature, and I had a high attainment in writing.

It was also in that earthquake relief that due to two consecutive days of work, he accidentally fell into the chaotic rocks due to fatigue, and passed away directly, and then there was the miracle of his current cross-border rebirth.

The only acceptable understanding may be that one's soul or mind has descended into another parallel space-time through the unknown black hole space of the universe.

He is not a scientist, nor a cultivator in the novel, nor has he encountered any demons, gods, fairies and ghosts, this is still an earth, still rotating every minute, people's lives are so ordinary, the world is still that world, but he is an alien that no one knows.

After waking up, he will also think about whether the previous life was a dream he had, isn't there a story of 'Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly', and he doesn't know whether his current self is in the dream of his previous life, or whether his previous life is a dream he has now. But all this is so real, so unknown.

I hope that after the father and mother in another time and space have lost a son in pain, Nengji people will have their own natural appearance, and continue to live in peace and happiness, and I also wish that China in that time and space can be prosperous and strong.

As for him?

Even if it is a different time and space, a different environment, it is still a human being, and it still needs to survive and live.
