In the 1950s, the factory's super-skilled workers were respected as "great craftsmen." In a steel factory in Northeast China, there are two "big craftsmen" with unique skills. Senior brother Xiao Changgong is an upright man, and he can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. Junior brother Yang Bentang (Yang Laosan) is active by nature and is not afraid of anything. In order to build a new socialist China, brothers fight with fiery forgings, sincere hearts, and every inch. Although Xiao Changgong knew that his sister Xiao Yufang loved her master Yang Laosan and was pregnant with Yang Laosan's child, he thought Yang Laosan was frivolous and even suspected that it was Yang Laosan who molested Xiao Yufang. Therefore, he refused to let Xiao Yufang marry Yang Laosan. Over the years, the Xiao family gave away their children's mother, sacrificed their eldest daughter-in-law, and their second son became a patient. However, Xiao Changgong still did not allow his sister to marry his junior brother. What will be the ending of the love between Xiao Yufang and Yang Laosan?

Fortunately, there is a smiling ending, which is not in vain for the tears I couldn't stop crying in the second half. The beauty of realistic novels lies in the sense of participation. In an era of slow traffic and horses, the love is so real! The generation of hard-working and dedicated people created by the times is also the era in which that generation achieved success. Nowadays, no one feels ashamed to get a salary without working, and turns to dedicating himself with a real gun; there is no one who has been unyielding and silently guarding his feelings for forty years, and has the persistence to get married regardless of disability or illness; where have the innocence, simplicity, and dedication gone? I can still miss you here... Thanks to the author Gao Mantang [Like][Like][Like]
The writing is very good, written in one breath, full of flesh and blood, sentimental, vivid and vivid. But while it is refreshing, it always touches people deeply. People, whether human or ghost, are always marked by the times and cannot escape the torture and shackles of the times. No matter how "mucky" Yang Laosan is, he will not dare to act recklessly! No matter how upright Xiao Changgong was, he was not recognized by his family and society. Instead, his family was destroyed and his wife and children were separated. No matter how courageous Xiao Yufang was, she could not completely control her own destiny. It is said that feudal ethics cannibalize people. Certain things in some societies really restrict people. It always leaves people helpless and unhappy. Are there any happy people in the world? Either see through it, let it go, or be stupid...
The plot of this book is very attractive. I especially like the rivalry between Xiao Changgong and Yang Laosan. I also admire their craftsmanship. This reminds me of Sun Shaoan in "The Ordinary World". They were both strivers of that era. I think this book is worth reading. It made me feel the people's love for life and pursuit of ideals in that special era.
A really nice book! I like Yang Laosan's character very much, he is free and easy, considers the overall situation, and does not stick to trivial matters!
I like the two male protagonists very much and Yufang is very good.
Classic, reappearing history
