    Currently serialized at two million words, this is a story that rejects formulaic plots. All characters are intelligent, the writing style is humorous, and the book is clean and straightforward, free of scatological humor. Set in 1953, it features a rigorous and logically sound portrayal of a powerful industrial nation. There's no hostility; the protagonist, Lao Liu, initially seems saintly, but later reveals himself to be scheming against everyone and everything around him. The story avoids simplistic black-and-white characterizations, showcasing a protagonist with a grand vision, a deep concern for his country, and clear goals. He quietly dedicates himself using his advanced knowledge, while the courtyard disputes serve merely as background.
