    This is a completed, period drama set in a modern city, blending slice-of-life, literary, and realistic style. It primarily follows the protagonist's work, marriage, and children, portraying a hardworking and honest individual. The protagonist's marriage is not perfect; the girl he loves is afraid to be with him due to his social status, forcing him to succumb to societal pressure and marry the woman everyone approves of. To prepare for the book, the author specifically went underground to experience life in the mines and interviewed many coal miners, leaders, and even some veteran mine managers and bureau chiefs from the 1980s and 90s. To verify prices in the 1960s, the author meticulously researched newspapers and repeatedly consulted with elderly people. It's a rare and exceptionally realistic work, but unfortunately, it was given a one-star rating by a group of readers on Tomato's platform who prefer fast-paced, action-packed stories, dragging down its overall score. It's a shame it went unseen.
