(This is a rush translation. The version may not be in its final form.)
You ask me, "what happened before the revolution?" Before the pilgrims, the prosthesis-of-memory, the robot-lovers, the lunar calendar, the impending war, and the smart jade tunics?
Our country was rich and it was invaded. The possession of the land was something new here, but it was a mark of the nobility of the invaders. Using our work for their employees seemed normal to them. The people were losing their lands, which were given to Religious Orders and to the Army.
A girl who saw her village being burned became a rebel leader. Allied to a foreign empire overthrew the Old Regime.
The lands were purchased from the Religious Orders but donated by the new allies to powerful families descended from the invaders. They created foreign language schools, technology centers. Rice production has been replaced by luxury products for export. War came and the Empire collapsed, thousands died of starvation.
Then came the revolution.
