After the Engineer Lost His Job, He Entered the Literary World by Writing

Chen Feng, a 32-year-old first-level construction engineer, could not escape the fate of being laid off in the severe winter of the engineering industry in 2026. After eight years of working on the construction site, he became a technical backbone, but he fell into zero position overnight in the cold winter of the industry. The pressure of mortgage and supporting a family made him breathless. He could only stay at home and play games to numb himself, and his life became a "waste" in the eyes of others. After an encounter downstairs, Lao Zhou, the contractor who had lost all his money, woke him up: "If you move trees to death, people will live if you move them. You are educated and can write, so why hang yourself on the construction site?" Looking at his young daughter and tired wife, Chen Feng dug out the construction log that had been dusty for many years, and wrote the bitterness of the engineers, the smoke and smoke of the construction site, and the warmth and coldness of the industry, one by one, into the story. From a novice post that no one paid attention to, to one that resonated with thousands of colleagues; from being questioned by his wife for not doing his job properly, to supporting the whole family with royalties; from a construction site technician to a master of realistic themes in the Internet literary circle, Chen Feng used the tenacity engraved in his bones as an engineer to carve out a counterattack on the keyboard. This is a story about the rebirth of ordinary people from desperate situations. It is written to every migrant worker who is struggling in the cold winter of the industry and confused in the mid-life crisis: There is never a dead end in life. As long as you dare to start over, put down the drawings and pick up the pen, you can still break into a new world.
