Sixty Years of Work
About This Novel
In late June 1958, I transferred from the army and came to Taiyuan City, my second hometown. I reported to the Municipal Personnel Bureau, and the military transfer cadre who received me asked for my opinion on the assigned units. Because I was impacted by the political movement two years ago, I think it was due to working in a school with a lot of intellectuals, and I was eager to change the working environment and nature of work. At that time, the country had begun the Great Leap Forward and the Great Steelmaking Movement, and units in all walks of life were in urgent need of additional personnel. I proposed that I be assigned to work as a worker in Taiyuan Iron and Steel Company. The officer who transferred me to the military office asked me to rest for two weeks and wait for my assignment at home. Before I was assigned a job, I lived at my second brother's house. At that time, the second brother was working for the Shanxi Provincial Highway Bureau, but he still lived in the dormitory of the employees' family members of the North China Engineering Bureau, his original workplace. It is a three-story building newly built after liberation. It is a dormitory for the family members of the bureau's section chiefs and above.
