    This is an urban novel you absolutely can't miss! The work is complete and is a historical fiction, very realistic, based on 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 unfortunately, a group of readers who prefer fast-paced, exciting stories gave it only one star, lowering its overall rating.

    Reader note

    I'd like to recommend a great book that's been shelved. It's purely realistic, featuring urban business warfare and a romance between an older woman and a younger man. The plot is very rigorous and solid, and it's a slow burn, so readers who prefer fast-paced books might not enjoy it.
