In 2026, literature professor Shen Ziming woke up from a car accident and became a dock coolie in Yangshupu, Shanghai in 1923.
A broken house, a widowed mother, and a foreign debt of five yuan.
Literature professors don't carry bags, they write manuscripts. "Declaration" was voted in and shocked the editors.
I got the royalties, paid off my debts, and had some extra money. In these troubled times, writing alone cannot save the country.
He remembered that his wife was a professor of medicine—how to purify sulfa? How to prepare quinine? He had heard her talk about it.
From the dilapidated wooden houses in Yangshupu to the pharmaceutical factories in the concession;
From working as a coolie at the dock to writing essays on wine with Mao Dun and Ye Shengtao;
From obscurity, to dealing with various forces, secretly transfusing blood for the fledgling organization...
When the artillery fire of the Battle of Songhu rang out, he had already prepared a road map for the relocation of industry.
A professor with a passionate heart, the rise and fall of the Republic of China for thirty years.
He only asked: Can this broken mountain and river be saved?
Reader comments
I have read online novels for many years, and this is the second one. I shed tears when I wrote the part about my mother. A novel angle heals some of the childhood and may lead to fewer fights. Fang Qingru's section is too delicate. It feels right, but I can't stand it anymore. That is the delicacy and delicacy produced by scholars. Be brave and confess without saying anything, be direct and leave immediately, be emotionally rational and behave honestly. Good night and read again tomorrow.
Let me review today. Still gave it 5 points. Reading a book will bring you into the character and experience his world. A relationship like Fang Qingru's, that is another kind of destiny. At least, the tacit understanding between my wife and I is not as good as her, not as elegant as her, not as many as her, but it is also appropriately true. It's so sweet and bitter, it's true. But I also like to watch. When I read the book and see myself, I always feel that I have matured, because I am not obsessed with beauty, nor do I have bad thoughts in my heart. In short, although the characters in this book are a bit fake, I can read it, and I think it is good like this. Not a bad feeling!
Society is too realistic, reality is too cruel
I have read more than 20 pictures. The writing is relatively plain, but it keeps me reading.
Deep, very good,
The writing is quite good, about the darkness of society and the hardships faced by people at the bottom.
