Wang Shiyun, the seventh batch of cadres from Binhai City to aid Xinjiang, brought his experience in the building economy along the eastern coast to the ancient land of Hotan, Xinjiang. From the first night he arrived, he had a real dream every night - traveling through time to become a "royal" figure from different periods in history, and experiencing the key moments that changed the direction of Chinese civilization.
During the day, he researched projects and visited farmers in the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains; at night, he became slices of life in time and space of Prince Jin, Wang Zongjing, Wang Jian, Wang Xizhi, Wang Anshi... These ancestors with the same surname. At first, he just thought it was the imagination of a history buff, until he discovered that every time he woke up from a dream, there would be a piece of warm residual jade in his palm, and the choices in the dream secretly echoed the real work problems.
This is a spiritual long march spanning three thousand years. From the prince of the Zhou Dynasty to the border guard soldier, from the reformer to the master of calligraphy, Wang Shiyun experienced the evolution of the nature of "king" in his dream: from a symbol of power to a cultural responsibility, and finally realized under the starry sky in Hotan that the word "king", three horizontally and one vertically, was originally the backbone of heaven, earth, man and all of them.
And when the seventh fragment of jade was put together, a mission that had been waiting for a thousand years emerged: all the time travel was for him to stand here and write the latest stroke of the word "king" on the road to aid Xinjiang in the new era.
Core context: Taking the memory of the clan surnamed "Wang" as a thread to connect the key nodes of Chinese civilization; taking Xinjiang aid construction as an axis to show the contemporary practice of the Chinese nation's community consciousness. Dreams are the echo of history, and reality is the continuation of dreams.
A great book with potential, worth recommending!
