About This Novel
[China Writers Association's 2021 Online Literature Key Works Support Project] [Winner Prize of the 5th Realistic Theme Internet Literature Essay Contest] In Bincheng in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Li Lisang worked as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop. He only had calloused hands and did not know where to go. He followed a master named "Lao Qin" and learned the knife-making skills. After entering the state-owned knife factory, he was like an outlier, tinkering with electric blowers, mechanical sharpeners, and stamping machines... Not only was he appreciated by the leaders of the knife factory, but he also married Xu Yao, a sales expert in the factory, because of his uniqueness. But a sudden economic wave caused the state-owned knife factory to declare bankruptcy, and the fate of hundreds of people instantly became a problem... Li Lisheng resolutely "went overseas", from a small workshop to a leading enterprise, from made in China to a national brand. Behind it is the dream and hard work of countless knife makers. Making a good knife is their truest long-cherished wish. In the future, a melting pot fed a poor family in dire straits, created a city of cutlery with 1,500 companies, produced domestic products with a craftsmanship spirit of self-improvement, and wrote a history of industrial upgrading on the coast of the South China Sea. This square-inch furnace made a city. A city, a weapon, a thousand swords, build a city. A city of swords with millions of stories.
