As an engineer, I really felt empathy when reading this book. From being high-spirited when graduating to being tempered by reality, every step is like looking in the mirror. The author writes about the hardships of the engineering industry and the struggles of engineers so realistically, as if he has seen his own career. I recommend all engineers to read it. This is our story.
As an engineering practitioner, I really feel like I am looking in the mirror when I read this book! From being high-spirited as a fresh graduate to being tempered by reality, every step is highly coincident with my experience. The author understands the pain and joy of engineering people so well that it seems as if he has written all our lives into the book.
Wow, it's so real. I'm currently graduating from college and find it really hard to find a job. I've only read the first dozen chapters of this novel, but I feel like it completely describes my current situation.
The writing is really good. In this difficult employment environment, from hope to disappointment to renewed hope, and having such a good girlfriend to accompany me, I am actually very happy.
This is a powerful workplace ukiyo-e, dedicated to all the workers who never bow their heads in the wind and rain. The protagonist's experience of falling to the bottom and getting back up is not only a reshuffle of the industry, but also a tempering of the soul. It tells us that even if there is no cheating in life, struggling all the way is still a kind of heroism.
The author's writing style is very contagious, and he describes the journey of engineering people in a delicate and profound way. From the cold winter of mining to the cold winter of construction, the tide of the times and personal struggle are intertwined, and the growth arc of the characters is clearly visible. Although it is a story about urban infrastructure, its core is about struggle and perseverance. It is very deep and worth savoring.
: There is no cheating in life, only stumbling all the way. This sentence is so poignant! The protagonist has been ups and downs in the industry reshuffle and reality, but he has never bowed his head. This kind of resilience is really admirable. In the current challenging environment, this book is like a shot in the arm, making me feel that my persistence has meaning. All migrant workers should read this stubbornness.
The author's writing style is very delicate, and he vividly depicts the workplace ecology and life of engineers. From the cold winter of mining to the cold winter of construction, the changes in the industry are intertwined with the growth of the protagonist, and the story is very layered. And I can feel that the author really understands this industry, and many details are very real. It is a good book that can give people an in-depth understanding of the life of engineering people.
As an engineering practitioner, I really resonate with this book! The protagonist's growth path from graduate to engineer, and his experiences of being shuffled by the industry and beaten by reality are like looking in a mirror. We engineers are like this. We grit our teeth and persevere in the cold winter of the industry. Every step we take is difficult but firm. The author writes this truth very poignantly.
This book is not only the story of one person, but also a true portrayal of countless engineering people. It allows more people to understand the difficulties of the engineering industry, and also allows colleagues to find resonance. From industry reshuffles to personal ups and downs, the descriptions are profound and worth reading.
