    "I Contribute to the Construction of My Motherland"—A Passionate Epic Dedicated to Workers [When you're tired of exaggerated "system cheats" and weary of glitz and glamour in business wars, this book will take you to feel the hottest pulse of the Republic's infrastructure construction.] Reinforced concrete builds ideals, while sand and dust bear witness to faith. In the 1990s, civil engineer Shen Tianzong vowed amidst the ruins of a collapsed bridge: "I will make every inch of roadbed etched with the backbone of the Chinese people!" This bespectacled scholar measured mountains and rivers with a slide rule, reshaped the earth with blueprints, cracked his fingers on the snowy plateau, and aged prematurely in the Gobi Desert—all because he firmly believed: "The battlefield for infrastructure workers is not on blueprints, but on the 9.6 Million square kilometers of land." [This is not a wish-fulfillment novel, but a true portrait of three generations of infrastructure workers.] There are no cheat codes in the book, only the cracked hands of an old surveyor tightly gripping a ruler; no overpowered protagonists, only a female engineer carrying a baby on her back, working through the night on the construction site to inspect piles. When multinational corporations use exorbitant contracts to set traps, and when the "building collapse" incident pierces the nation's nerves, people like Shen Tianzong dedicate their lives to fulfilling their promises: to make the Qinghai-Tibet Railway traverse the forbidden zone of life, to make the cross-sea bridge tear through towering waves, and to make children in remote mountains no longer have to use cable cars to get to school. [Open this book, and you will touch] ✓ Rigorous and terrifying engineering details: from concrete mix proportions to tunnel boring machine parameters ✓ Thrilling industry battles: the profit chain behind shoddy construction projects ✓ The blood and tears behind the infrastructure maniacs: those young lives forever left in the tunnels ✓ A romance that transcends time and space: the contour lines on the blueprints are their most fervent love letters to the motherland. [To every reader] As the author says, "This book is the foundation for the future; may it carry your ideals forward with a roar." Here, you will understand the dignity of the "infrastructure maniacs" and witness the greatness built by ordinary people with their lives. The youth that blossomed on scaffolding will eventually build the ladder for us to look up at the stars. This text is dedicated to all the unsung heroes who have woven the threads of time into the landscape of our motherland—you have poured not only concrete, but also the backbone of our nation.
