1987, Red Star Machinery Factory. I, Lin Weidong, slacked off in the workshop for two years, brewing tea during work hours and playing with crickets after work, seen by the whole factory as a useless freeloader waiting to die. Zhou Jianshe, the new director and a returned educated youth, took office, publicly denounced me through a loudspeaker, and directly fired and expelled me from the workshop. Even my wife thought I was an embarrassment and handed me a divorce agreement. My coworkers clapped and cheered, everyone waiting to laugh at me roaming the streets. But nobody knew that Red Star Machinery Factory was founded single-handedly by my grandfather. My slacking off was merely psychological trauma from witnessing an accident back then. On the day I was swept out the door, a black Volga drove up to the factory gates.
