In the 1980s, Li Hanchen, an infrastructure soldier, witnessed his comrades staining the construction site with blood in order to save him. The words "build a house" he told before his death became the cornerstone of his life. With courage and original intention, he grew from a bricklayer to a real estate tycoon, but lost himself in the game of capital, and high-rise buildings became a cage of desire.
The policy storm struck and the empire collapsed overnight. When everyone was betrayed and separated, he stood on the roof of the unfinished building he built, only to realize that he was already homeless. It was his son's tears and the last wishes of his deceased comrades that pulled him back from the abyss.
After losing his aura as "Mr. Li," he redeemed himself and regained his craftsmanship in the clumsiest way possible - renovating old communities, installing anti-fall handrails, and guarding a court for children. Shen Jie, the beloved she once broke up with, came back. There was no reconciliation, and she just said: "I'll pay you all, and I'll accompany you to set up a stall to sell noodles again."
With forty years of ups and downs, this is an epic about loss and redemption. See how idealists smash the golden shackles and rebuild the most solid foundation for themselves and others on the ruins of human nature.
