Before she died, Lin Zhaoxia saw a text message in an old newspaper——
Gu Huaisheng, a former mechanic at the Red Star Machinery Factory, never married and died alone in a warehouse. Hidden among the relics was a stack of early mechanical sketches and a model of handmade iron parts.
That picture was drawn casually when she was a girl. That model was made by him, one cut at a time, according to the drawings.
She didn't know until her death that this man had loved her silently all her life.
Open your eyes again and go back to 1995.
The marriage has not been decided yet, the wave of layoffs has not yet come, everything is still too late.
Lin Zhaoxia took all her dowry, rushed into the Red Star Machinery Factory, and found the silent technician who was covered in engine oil and was about to be laid off.
"Gu Huaisheng, I will provide the money and you will provide the technology. Let's form a partnership."
The whole factory laughed at her for being crazy. The children of cadres in the government compound did not marry, but opened a workshop with a boring gourd.
Later——
The washing machines he built were sold all over the country.
The reporter asked him the secret of his success.
He faced the camera and said awkwardly and word by word:
"My wife said that technology can change lives. If she believes in me, I will win."
