A strange sense of spatiotemporal chaos is raging wildly in my mind.

  The stars revolve in the sky, and all things seem yet are not.

  Li Qian used force to pat his forehead, but felt more and more headache as he patted.

  "Hey, Li Qian, are you okay? Do you want us to take you to the hospital?"

  "Its nothing, its nothing, really nothing, I just need a rest."

  Liu Qiang waved his hand in refusal, Li Qian shook his head vigorously and then looked around with wide eyes.

  If my memory serves me right, this is the basketball court of Jinan No. 13 High School, and Liu Qiang and others playing in the distance are classmates from my high school class 2-5, and today is May 17th, 1995, a Saturday, which corresponds to the 55th year of the Republic of China, or the year of Yi Hai according to the lunar calendar.

  Yes, you didnt read it wrong, this is Jinan Prefecture, not Jinan City.

  The years here are calculated according to the Republic of China calendar, similar to the year numbers in ancient China.

  Carefully recalling, Li Qian found a very clear history recorded in his textbook: In 1644, Li Zicheng entered the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself on Coal Mountain. Later, Li Zichengs army came out of Shanhai Pass to fight against the coalition forces of Dorgon and Wu Sangui, winning a great victory. After that, for twenty years, the Taizu Emperor of Dashun conquered east and west, successively pacifying the Manchu, Mongolia, Hui people, and Taiwan, and for a time, the Dashun Dynasty flourished to an unprecedented degree...

  Okay, very messy, very weird.

  Compared with the history learned by Li Jian before, the history in Li Zichengs Dashun Dynasty has taken a big turn.

  Then, the corruption and decline of the dynasty were inevitable. The First Industrial Revolution in the West also arrived on schedule. In the mid-to-late 19th century, the Chinese nation indeed fell into the situation of "falling behind and being beaten". Even Hong Kong was taken away by the British for 89 years. However, miraculously, in 1865, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom suddenly launched a top-down reform, known as the "Tongzhi Restoration". From then on, although there were setbacks and twists and turns, the Chinese nation finally embarked on the path of capitalist reform.

  Then, although the space-time was extremely disordered, China still took a similar path, except that in this one, China had carried out reform and opening-up very early, becoming the first socialist country in the world to declare reform and opening-up. In the following decade, led by the red big brother in the north, more than a dozen red camps also declared different degrees of internal reform and external opening-up.

  From then on, the two major camps in the world gradually shifted from a cold war of military confrontation to an economic war of regional cooperation and economic competition. The speed of the outbreak of the third technological revolution accelerated greatly as a result.

  Oh, right, even now the Northern Polar Bear Empire in the North hasnt dissolved yet!

  Li Qians mind remained in a state of utter confusion...

  What a world it is indeed, seeming yet not seeming, and not seeming yet seeming!

  He rubbed his temples hard and muttered to himself, "The problem is, isnt it just that Wei Ya fell down from a height of only a few meters? How could I have died from that? Now, not only did I die, but I also crossed over into this inexplicable and chaotic world..."

  Just as he woke up, Li Qian almost thought he had become schizophrenic, until his understanding and knowledge of this world became clearer in his mind. He finally confirmed that all of this was actually real, and he had already arrived in a strange time and space, and had also transformed into a high school student named Li Qian.

  Alright, Beijing is not called Beijing, but Shuntian Prefecture, Nanjing is not called Nanjing, but Jiangning Prefecture, as for Shanghai... it was known as Songjiang Prefecture...

  It hurts so much.

  He subconsciously turned over several pockets before remembering that he still didnt know how to smoke, so he rummaged through the school uniforms taken off by his classmates beside him and finally found half a pack of cigarettes called "Daming Lake", pulled one out and lit it.

  He took a deep breath, choked slightly and couldnt help but cough.

  "Wow, wow, look quickly, Li Qian is actually smoking too!"

  "Hey Li Qian, didnt you say that your dads smoking was the most annoying thing? How come youre smoking now too?"

  "Damn it, Li Qian, we only have half a pack left, you wont even smoke, dont waste them! You smoke one, Ill have to smoke one less!"

  "I said, youre so petty, this is Li Qians first cigarette in his life!"

  "Its not that Im being stingy, but my pocket money for this week is already gone. You guys know it too, this half pack of cigarettes is all the food I have for today and tomorrow. If I finish smoking them, where am I going to find money to buy more?"

  Li Qian held his cigarette and picked up his school uniform, patted his butt and stood up.

  He thought for a moment, then stuffed the remaining half pack of Dahongpao into his pocket. As he turned to leave, he called out behind him: "Consider this half pack of cigarettes a gift! Ill return it with a whole box another day! Im not feeling too well, so Ill take off first!"

  A mournful howl came from behind him.

  "Hey, Im telling you, at least leave a few for me..."

  "Li Qian hurry up, well cover you!"

  …………

  According to his memory, Li Qian quickly rode his bicycle back home.

  This is a neighborhood called Shengshi Garden, where Li Qian has lived since he was a child.

  Arriving at his own building, he locked up his bicycle and didnt rush upstairs. Instead, he looked up first.

  The pleasant sound of the piano flowed out from the window that was opened a crack, like the gentle gurgling of a spring... Hmm, if it were the old Li Qian, he certainly wouldnt understand what this piece is, but as it happens, the current Li Qian knows - "Girl with the Flaxen Hair", a classic work by Debussy.

  And its exactly the same as the "Girl with Flaxen Hair" that Li Qian knows, without a single note different.

  Li Qian subconsciously reached out to take out a cigarette, thought for a moment, and then put it back - this is his own residential area, wherever he goes, he will meet familiar faces, if someone sees him smoking and tells his parents, hell be in trouble.

  The roar of the engine grew louder from afar, and the manhole cover clanged once, then again. The car had already turned around... Li Qian withdrew his gaze that was looking up and turned back, surprisingly it was a red convertible sports car. However, when he clearly saw the two unusually classical and powerful traditional Chinese characters on the car logo, he was suddenly bewildered...

  The Great Wall!

  "Hey, Wei Jianjun Chairman, did you know that the Great Wall on our side has already launched sports cars? Isnt it time to stop relying on H6 for sales volume? Whats wrong with you?"

  The car came to a stop in front of Li Qian with a creak.

  It wasnt until this moment that Li Qians gaze finally managed to struggle free from the two words "Great Wall" and glanced up.

  A face of extreme beauty.

  She got off the car, closed the door, and her long black hair swung gently...

  This girl, even without high heels, must be nearly 1 meter 7 centimeters tall.

  Yeah, its just that his gaze is a bit cold.

  Li Qian hastily averted his gaze after just one glance at her.

  In his memory, he seemed to be somewhat intimidated by this woman.

  It all started when Li Qian tricked his younger sister into kissing him with candy, but she beat him up instead. This grudge has been held for over a decade, and her cold face has become a shadow in Li Qians heart, affecting him even now, making him want to avoid her whenever they meet.

  The convertible slowly rose, the woman walked over and stopped not far from Li Qians side, listening to the piano sound and looked up at the third floor with a glance, then glanced at Li Qian coldly.

  "Hello, Jingxue sister."

  If it were the old Li Qian, he would probably pretend not to see him and hide as far away as possible, but now, Li Qian took the initiative to greet him.

  Wang Jingxue nodded silently and walked past Li Qians side, going upstairs.

  Waistline curves so handsome that it makes peoples eyes straight.

  Li Qian revealed a helpless bitter smile.

  After waiting for her to go up for a while, Li Qian turned his head and took another look at the two characters "Great Wall" in the oval car logo, muttered something in his mouth, and then went upstairs.

  Li Qians home is also on the third floor, opposite the homes of Wang Jingxue and Wang Jinglu.

  When he arrived upstairs, the piano sound at the door had stopped. Li Qian took out the key to open the door and first smelled a pungent smell of smoke. He looked inside and saw that in the study, Li Shuwen was holding a cigarette in one hand and writing quickly with the other.

  Li Qian subconsciously said, "Hey, Dad, youre having another inspiration?"

  In the mist, Li Shuwen turned his head and glanced at his son, "Ah, I couldnt sleep last night and thought of the tree in our old homes courtyard. Here it is, Im writing about it now, and itll be done soon."

  Li Qian closed the door, changed into slippers and walked over. He looked up at the ceiling of the small study and said, "Dad, Mom went to buy vegetables, right? Shell probably be back soon?"

  Li Shuwen found this remark somewhat strange, in the midst of his busy schedule he turned around to take a glance at his son, and following his gaze looked up at the ceiling, immediately coming back to himself, while extinguishing his cigarette he hastily stood up to open the window, "Oh dear, I forgot!"

  Li Qian smiled and didnt say anything, then closed the door and left.

  Although it should be quite awkward to call a stranger "dad", he seemed to have been influenced by the memories in his mind, and when that word came out, he really didnt feel any difficulty.

  After taking a shower, Li Qian sat in the living room, turned on the TV and then sat on the couch, lost in thought.

  This strange yet familiar world left him somewhat bewildered.

  High school sophomore, 17 years old. My mom is an accountant and my dad is a Chinese literature teacher. When he was young, he even published a book, but of course, it didnt sell much. Oh, right, theres also a little celebrity living next door, but unfortunately, our relationship is less than zero...

  Wait a minute!

  Li Qians eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and turned to rush into his bedroom. He quickly pulled out a double-disc CD from the small bookshelf on his bed - this was given by Wang Jinglu - one disc was a music CD with ten songs recorded, and the other disc was an MV of two main songs.

  Wu Su, a beautiful combination of five girls, debuted last year and released their first album, which reportedly sold 200,000 to 300,000 copies, making them one of the relatively well-known singing groups in China.

  Wang Jingxue is one of them.

  There was no one else at home, and Li Qian happened to pass by and closed the door of the small study room. He walked in front of the TV and opened the VCD player below, putting that MV disc inside.

  He turned on the TV switch, and soon the VCD started playing automatically. The energetic song and dance burst forth!

  What long and white legs!

  The song is not the point for now, this pose of selling legs, is exactly like that Korean group from another world called "Big Leg Era".

  Li Qian put on his headphones, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

  Two songs, one called "Love Ocean", and the other called "Lü Bu and Diao Chan".

  After listening to the first song "Love Ocean", Li Qian pursed his lips and slightly furrowed his brow.

  Li Qians father was a drama actor, and his mother was a music teacher at a high school. He grew up in an artistic family and has been influenced by it since he was young. In high school, he started forming bands, and after graduating from college, he didnt find a job and spent his days performing in bars and taking on odd jobs such as composing and TV show soundtracks. Occasionally, he would also sing for others, living a life of alternating between hunger and fullness.

  Then, by chance, he started as an extra, then a stagehand, drama, screenwriter, photography assistant, directors assistant, deputy director, stunt double, and small actor. He spent two or three years doing this, and in the film and television industry, he managed to find a foothold. Of course, it was just a little better than before, enough to make ends meet. As for getting rich, forget about it. He was already over thirty, still single, not because of anything else, but simply because he had no money to spend.

  Even if he changed his career to the film and television industry, his attention and love for music did not fall behind. Just before the incident occurred while filming that martial arts drama, he had just written a new song ready to be released.

  So, although he wasnt even a professional singer in his previous life, after all these years of loving and paying attention to music, having written many songs himself, and even selling several of them, he still has some basic judgment about music.

  In his opinion on popular music, this song... is just so-so.

  Then, "Lü Bu and Diao Chan".

  It seems... still not as good as the first one.

  It goes without saying that songs that can be made into MVs are definitely title tracks!

  The title track is already like this, let alone the quality of the entire album, which is really not optimistic.

  The two MVs were played quickly and the screen went black.

  Li Qian subconsciously grasped his chin with his hand and slowly swayed back and forth - this was one of his habitual actions from his past life, every time he made this action, he must be thinking about some important issues.

  But now, this is the question: if at this level can mix a sales of 20-30 million copies, it means that the overall strength of the music scene in this time and space is not too powerful!

  Thinking of this, Li Qian felt that his mind seemed to have opened up suddenly, and the confusion in his heart after crossing over was slowly dissipating.

  And in his heart, a lamp began to light up.

  Now he only needs to confirm one thing: that is, how much the music, film and television in this time and space are the same as, and different from, those in the familiar time and space he has experienced before!
