Lin Fan, a former student studying in the Soviet Union, is one of the nation’s top prospective engineers for the Two Bombs, One Satellite project, a true national treasure.
On receiving his transfer order, he leaves the secret base in the northwest and returns to the capital undercover, lying low in a siheyuan packed with long-time neighbors from all walks of life.
From then on, he must forget who he really is and pose as an ordinary apprentice with no surviving parents, a harmless demeanor, and just enough wages to get by.
But he never expected the old neighbors here to be far more colorful than the scientific challenges he faced!
Confronted with neighbors who have greed and scheming in their very bones, Lin Fan just smiles.
Want to talk about rules? I’ll slap the factory regulations and neighborhood rules right in your face and show you what it means to bring humiliation upon yourself!
Want to compete over connections? Sorry, I have the whole country behind me!
While the whole pack of neighbors are still fighting tooth and nail over a mouthful of cornmeal, Lin Fan has already started using special-supply coupons. While Xu Damao is still spreading rumors and congratulating himself, Lin Fan has become the factory manager’s favorite after solving a problem with imported machine tools!
This is a thrilling power fantasy about a top scientist posing as a meek lamb in a chaotic siheyuan. With futuristic knowledge and an iron fist, he brings a pack of vile neighbors to heel while helping forge the Republic’s mighty sword.
See how the shrewd engineer Lin Fan thrives in the 1960s and makes everyone around him green with envy!
