    Currently serialized at two million words, this novel rejects formulaic plots and avoids clichés. All characters are intelligent, the writing style is humorous yet historically accurate, offering a clean and straightforward read without any vulgarity or trivialities. Set in 1953, it focuses on a hardcore industrial powerhouse with rigorous logic. There's no hostility; the protagonist, Lao Liu, initially seems saintly, but later reveals his scheming nature towards everyone and everything around him. It avoids simplistic black-and-white characterizations, showcasing a grand vision, a deep concern for his country, and clear goals. He quietly dedicates himself using his advanced knowledge, with the courtyard disputes serving only as background. What he truly cares about is the world beyond the walls, a world waiting to rise.
