Against the Tide of 1974: My Life Building a Great Nation

Water conservancy worker Han Chun is reborn at the 1974 controversy over his permanent appointment. Using the portable space he carries with him to gather crucial evidence, he turns his fate around amid a construction boom. By repairing the Qimen Gate Reservoir, creating an underground archives, and outwitting a corrupt faction, he eventually becomes a national-level master engineer, clears the names of eighteen fellow workers, and exposes the dark underbelly of grassroots power in the early days of Reform and Opening Up.
