[Historical Era] [Rural China in the 1970s] [Graduate Student from the Stars] [Eight-Year-Old Girl] [Hardcore Tech for a Strong Nation] [One-on-One Romance]
Chen Mingtang died on her way to becoming a graduate student and building mechs on the capital planet.
When she opened her eyes, however, a black hole had compressed her into an eight-year-old child and dropped her in a poor mountain village in 1972.
No starships, no mechs, not even a nail, unless you called it a "foreign nail."
How had the China from her history books, once visited by envoys from every land and spanning the sea of stars, regressed to this?!
A human trafficker took her for a fool? She slit his throat in return.
The villagers laughed at her as a mute little girl? She climbed onto a stool and repaired a tractor that had been broken for three years.
While everyone else was busy earning work points, she stared at the date in the newspaper every day and swore like a madwoman:
"We're so far behind. I'm going to turn history around."
In 1977, the college entrance exam was reinstated.
She pointed at the capital's top university. "I'm going to get in."
Years later, a carrier rocket pierced the heavens, and China's first homegrown mech rose with a roar in the Gobi Desert.
A reporter asked the silver-haired master chef of state banquets, "You've been by Academician Chen's side her whole life. What was her greatest achievement?"
Zhu Zao watched the female academician in uniform on television and smiled simply.
"All her life, she just wanted to pluck the stars from the sky and give them to her country."
Back then, in a ruined temple, she'd only eaten half his potato before telling him:
"Don't be afraid. When I've built a mech, I'll take you to see the real sea of stars."
It's a very meaningful book. The story is rich in content and gave me a lot of inspiration. While reading, I felt the emotions and thoughts the author wanted to express. This book has helped me grow, and I recommend it to everyone.
Tangtang—the super inspirational female lead; Huotu Ge—the ever-helpful, rough-around-the-edges Tiancheng—we're rooting for you! 😲
How should I put it? Some parts of this author's writing really moved me and made me feel incredibly excited.
Super exciting novel!
Tangtang is amazing! 👍 Finally, the time for reform and opening up is almost here! Author, please update 100,000 words every day! It's not enough, I can't stop reading!
