From Temporary Workers to Industrial Icebreakers

The protagonist Feng Jingyuan accidentally traveled back to the 1980s 40 years later and became a temporary worker in the Metallurgical Department. With knowledge about the future, he is keenly aware of the difficulties and opportunities in domestic industrial development. At work, he actively participated in major industrial projects such as Nanjing Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.'S hot rolling mill, mining machinery, and large-scale fertilizer equipment. Faced with challenges such as Japanese technology fraud, equipment introduction difficulties, and domestic technology bottlenecks, he relied on wisdom and courage to not only solve the difficulties, but also promote the localization and replacement of key equipment. At the same time, he navigated the complex power relationships within the Metallurgical Department, the State Economic Commission and other institutions to resolve numerous obstacles. In addition, he also looks internationally, carries out Sino-German cooperation, explores the African market, and promotes the rise of China's industry with a long-term strategic layout. In this process, he gradually grew from a temporary worker at the grassroots level to a key figure influencing the development of the country's industry, writing a passionate legend about how China's industry struggled to break through the ice and move towards strength.
