   Reader note

   This is an urban novel you absolutely can't miss! The work is complete and is a historical fiction, very realistic. The setting is a collection of dozens of coal mines in Xintai City, Shandong Province. Back then, this was Shandong's most important mining area, but by the late 1990s, despite still having abundant coal resources, it rapidly declined. To survive, miners expanded into Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, and many were hired as mine managers elsewhere. It's no exaggeration to say that almost every major coal mine in northern China now has people from Xintai. It's a rare and very realistic novel, but it was given one star by a group of readers who prefer fast-paced, exciting stories, which lowered its overall rating.
