The protagonist of the novel, Kong Yiming, was born in the Jianghan Plain in the early 1960s. He began his decades-long life journey until retirement. • Strong conflict design: Each chapter is set with a double climax of "survival crisis + game of human nature" (for example, in Chapter 1 "The Age of Hungry: The Memory of Bark Guanyin Tu", Kong Yiming was hunted down by the militia for grabbing sweet potatoes from the production team)
• Fast-paced advancement: Chapter 3 completes the golden structure of "Family Change - Turn of Fate - New Map Opening" (for example, after the "Dropout Incident" in Chapter 3, Kong Yiming replaced his father and entered the Jianghan Oilfield)
• Enhanced regional characteristics: Deeply integrated into the historical background of the "Wuqi Oilfield Battle" in the Jianghan Plain, such as Chapter 5 "Oilfield Battle: Youth in the Splash of Mud", which restores the scene of 120,000 oil workers pioneering the reed swamp.
