The world only knows that engineering and infrastructure maniacs travel across mountains and rivers, build roads and bridges, and support the prosperity of cities. However, no one sees that behind the halo, there are thousands of engineering families who are just a piece of shit.
I am stationed abroad all year round and travel around the world. The construction site is my home and the road is my daily life. Outside he is a respected engineering and technical backbone, but at home he is a husband who has been absent all year round and a father who has been absent from his children's growth.
The seemingly complete family shell has already become an invisible single parent inside.
This book is adapted from the real life story of a real-life engineer, tearing away the glamorous filter of the infrastructure industry, and directly addresses the suffering of a marriage with a small family and many separations, the sadness of carrying a child and running a house alone, the loneliness of the elderly without someone to accompany them, and the helplessness of couples drifting apart in different places.
On one side is the mission of building the country's infrastructure, and on the other is the regret of being separated from a small family. It describes the inability of the project workers to do so, and also describes the loneliness and perseverance of the left-behind women. If you understand an infrastructure family, you can understand the difficulty of life for millions of ordinary people.
