The Road is Far Away (part 2)
About This Novel
"The Long Road" is a magnificent historical picture spanning two centuries and covering China and the United States. With a broad and compassionate perspective, the author describes the wonderful journey of a Guangdong migrant worker in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China who traveled across the ocean to start a successful business despite all the hardships, and then "returned" to build his hometown and do his best for national rejuvenation. The warmth of human nature, the blaze of true love, and the perseverance of the builders are throughout. This volume tells the story of the protagonist who returned to his hometown and overcame all difficulties to establish the first private railway that was fully invested, designed and built by Chinese people. It reflects the turbulent social scene in modern China and also embodies the Chinese people's feelings about family and country that are rooted in their blood.
