   Reader note

   It is not a purely literary novel, it is a kind of personal experience and understanding and the protagonist's time travel. Maybe everyone is the protagonist. Teachers are good at discovering strengths and students are good at using strengths. Chollima often exists, but Bole does not often exist. Moreover, the short board effect is converging to the long board effect under the definition of the new era. A person can be imperfect and does not need to learn from each other. Everyone has strengths and development. When people from all walks of life come together, they can create unlimited value. This is the power of teamwork. I think it's very good, it's pretty good-looking, IQ is online all the way, logic is applied in practical cases, so that words are not just words, but contain practical meanings, helping the world and loving the people is not just talk, and the imperial examination is not superficial, they are all real countermeasures, case implementation, logical reasoning, and calculation and pragmatism. Although it is indeed inappropriate for a woman (dressing as a man) to take the imperial examination, but to get back to the subject, I admire the author's thinking ability, examination question ability, and practical teaching ability. It is worth recommending and worth reading. Maybe you will learn to write articles from it, and maybe you will also gain some self-reflection after reading it. Thanks!

   In the spring of 1995, a heavy industrial city in Northeast China. The chimney that had stood for forty years was still smoking. But everyone knew it was about to stop. A bankruptcy notice from Hongxing Machinery Factory shattered the lives of more than 8,000 employees. Du Jianguo, 51 years old, is an eighth-level fitter. He has worked for 34 years in exchange for 23,400 yuan in buyout money. He devoted half his life to the factory, but in the end he found that there was nothing left except the craftsmanship in his hands. He opened a repair shop behind the vegetable market, trying to use a wrench to restore the dignity of a home. Qin Hong, 38 years old, is an accountant in a factory. She was the first to see reality clearly. From factory accountant to tailor stall owner, from abacus to sewing needle and thread, she disassembled herself bit by bit and sewed it up bit by bit. But there were some things that needle and thread couldn't sew - such as the man who came to the stall every day, and the pair of eyes that stared at her with other meanings. Chen Xiaoyong, 24 years old, is a young worker who replaced his father in the factory. He took the buyout money and boarded the green train heading south, thinking that Guangzhou was full of opportunities. What fate prepared for him was a Sichuan girl, a fight, and a single bed in a detention center. This is a novel about "loss". Losing your job, losing your identity, losing what you believed in for decades. But it is also a novel about "searching" - looking for a way out, looking for dignity, looking for the breath to stand up again on the ruins. That chimney eventually fell. But those people are still standing!!
