In 2025, Li Yun, a programmer and struggling author from Blue Star, died suddenly while researching Japanese art late at night.

In 2000, the U.S. dot-com bubble burst, and an internet winter swept the globe, prompting major global internet companies to lay off employees to protect themselves.

Internet giants like Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba are struggling.

Apple is still in a transitional period.

Lei Jun is still relentlessly pushing for Kingsoft's IPO.

Lotus is also selling off its business to survive.

Many future internet unicorns have not yet been formed.
