Synopsis

The 1990s: From the Shelter to China’s Core Technology

A blood-and-tears journey of struggle in a Special Economic Zone

Volume One: Breaking Out of the Sweatshop

In 1994, a green train headed south, carrying the confusion and hopes of an era.

Yun Fei, a technician from an inland factory that had gone bankrupt, sets out alone for a Special Economic Zone to solve a problem with radio quality. He embarks on a thorny journey that will temper his body and soul and reshape his convictions.

In the steel jungle of Shenzhen, survival is the only rule:

* He spends nights hiding in train cars to evade patrols, locked in a silent struggle beneath the cover of darkness.

* He takes refuge in a cemetery to avoid being hunted down over his temporary residence permit, holding on to a glimmer of hope amid the desolation.

* At the job market, cold stares cut like knives, and reality repeatedly scorches his dreams.

* He carries loads at the docks, trading his strength for survival, only to be swept into the heart of a gang war.

* In the lightless sweatshop, he steps forward and leads his fellow workers in shattering their chains and fighting for a ray of hope.

* Struggling at the depths of the shelter, he secretly learns skills from a mysterious prison boss, forging himself into a man of iron.

Hardship has never broken him. When his enemies join forces to hunt him down, Yun Fei chooses to draw his sword and fight!

This is not only one man’s struggle, but also the silent roar of a generation of migrant workers and the opening chapter in the dawn of China’s rise in technology!

Period-Era Novels, Technological Powerhouse, No Romance

Are there any novels where a modern person transmigrates into a period novel and uses modern technology to defend the country? Either a male or female lead is fine, and secret identities are okay too. No romance or family drama, just serving the nation and being doted on by the government!!
