This book is based on the construction of the Burma Highway (now the Burma Road in Kunming) during the Anti-Japanese War. Engineer Qin Zhenbang led a team to build a road between the cliffs of the Nu River in western Yunnan. Faced with harsh geology and heavy rain landslides, countless migrant workers fought with their own flesh and blood, and young Apu and others sacrificed their lives. Everyone fought with their lives to open up the only international lifeline for China's war of resistance in desperate situations. The story uses the sacrifice and perseverance of small people to recreate the current Yunnan-Burma Avenue, which was a heavenly road to save the country built with flesh and blood.
