In 1998, Jiangzhong, a century-old state-owned enterprise, was on the verge of bankruptcy, and 30,000 workers faced layoffs. Tsinghua classmates Lin Yanqiu and Lu Chen, one engaged in politics and the other in business, joined forces for the first time in the life and death field of restructuring. For the next twenty-eight years, they fought head-on with old-school bureaucracy, reckless capital, and financial giants. In each battle, they performed extreme operations within the framework of the rules. From the restructuring of state-owned enterprises to the wave of urbanization, from the financial secret war to the chip breakout, the two people have never eaten a meal they should not have eaten, and never signed a word they should not have signed, but they have joined forces to overturn an old era and hold up a new era. The Yangtze River surges endlessly, and you and I are both waves.
