Set in the early years of reform and opening up, this story follows Wang Wentao, the eldest son of an ordinary, impoverished family in Jiangdong Province. Amid the changes of the times, he shoulders the dual responsibilities of family and society, yet goes on to write a truly extraordinary chapter in his life. (The novel's protagonist is entirely fictional. Any resemblance to historical figures is purely coincidental. This story is simply food for thought for those dealing with pressure from family and society. Even if you're unemployed, you could learn some of his practical skills and trades; perhaps they'll inspire you in unexpected ways. The novel covers mathematics, stock and futures trading, and football index construction. It also offers useful insights into medicine and health maintenance, as well as lessons and exercises in software project development. Perhaps something here can help you overcome the difficulties you're facing. A golden blade may not necessarily slay a ferocious tiger. Thank you.)
