Reborn to Build Railroads in America

The protagonist, Lin Han, was a graduate student in civil engineering at Jinghua University in his previous life. By chance, he is reborn as a Chinese laborer named A Gui on the Central Pacific Railroad in the United States in 1865. Using civil engineering knowledge, project management experience, and modern thinking that are 160 years ahead of his time, he solves construction problems and transforms management practices under extremely harsh conditions, rapidly rising from the lowest ranks of laborers to become a leader of the Chinese workers. Building on the railroad, he amasses wealth and prestige, maneuvering among financiers, politicians, and the military. In the end, he establishes the first modern Chinese republic overseas, writing a sweeping piece of unofficial history forgotten by the orthodox record.
