Siheyuan: From Fixing Cars to Building Aircraft Engines

In 1952, the Yellow River floods. Lu Weimin takes Cheng Zhihan and climbs onto a freight train to flee the famine. They have no food, and he has no idea where the road ahead will lead.

He knows only one thing: get to Beijing and survive.

The System awakens as he enters the capital. Walking builds his stamina, studying raises his proficiency, and the portable space he carries keeps expanding.

Others see the fleeing boy as a burden, but Lu Weimin's auto repair skills earn him a special hire at a machine repair factory, where he is assigned two rooms on his very first day.

Section Chief Luo recognizes that he is a rare talent, and the factory's veteran technicians are amazed by his skills.

From repairing cars to being admitted to Qinghua University, then joining the Institute of Mechanics and securing an aircraft engine project, the boy who once slept in a freight car rises all the way to chief engineer.

While the young men in the courtyard compete to propose to Cheng Zhihan, her heart has long belonged only to Brother Weimin, who brought her out of the floodwaters.
