He headed south to find work and, through his own hard work and talent, became a top entrepreneur and electromechanical expert. Because machine-tool technology, hailed as the “mother of industry,” lagged behind, he and his fellow Chinese spent their whole lives being crushed by the West, swallowing their indignation year after year.

   ---A patriotic book about dedication to the country and a strong nation is worth reading [Recommendation] "They're Making Aircraft Carriers by Hand, and You Still Call This a Screw Factory" In his previous life, Cheng Shi's achievements were stolen, and he was laid off in middle age. Even though he later became a giant in the electromechanical industry, he couldn't save his mother from poverty and illness, nor could he make up for his sister's lifelong toil. He also witnessed his country being controlled by the West due to its high-end CNC machine tools, a situation that had hampered his entire life. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in 1990, before his layoff notice was issued. In this life, he held his mother's cracked hands tightly and stopped his sister from going south to work: "I'll earn the money, I'll protect the family." He resolutely left the machine factory. While others were unwilling to be laid off, he was the first to sign the agreement. While his coworkers were scrambling for tickets to the southward migration, he sketched the first draft of a five-axis CNC machine tool on oil-stained blueprints. When foreign companies were waving their money to acquire state-owned factories, he led veteran workers in a dilapidated workshop to forge the first domestically produced high-precision spindle. Western technology blockade? He silently pushed open the laboratory door, behind him stood the dormant industrial backbone of the entire nation. "Machine tools are the mother of industry," he said, his voice hoarse yet resolute at a project tackling meeting. "In this life, I want to make my mother (machine tools) stand tall, and I want my mother to enjoy her later years in peace." Years later, when domestically produced precision machine tools were widely used in high-speed rail, fighter jets, and aircraft carriers, and when the world marveled at the speed of China's manufacturing rise, Cheng Shi, his hair now white, stood by the window, looking at his mother and sister strolling in the garden below, and softly said to the engineer reporting on the phone: "It's not fast enough. Home is the smallest unit of the nation, and the nation is made up of millions of homes—this time, I want my nation and my home to reach a bright future simultaneously." #IndustrialPower #RebirthToProtectFamily #FromMachineToolsToAircraftCarriers #NeverKneelingToDevelopTechnology #HardcoreEraInspiringArticle

   When the whole world is full of imposters, who can you trust? Transmigrated at six, he grew up for eighteen years in a "warm" family of five, until that blood-soaked night—when a howling "monster" was shot dead in public, and his most trusted childhood friend suddenly bared his fangs. Only then did he realize this wasn't a parallel world, but a cage of monstrous beasts trapping humanity. With only one in ten thousand humans, four million beasts of greed, anger, and delusion disguised as relatives, neighbors, and classmates—in this inescapable city, the awakened are the prey, and only the ignorant survive. Gao Yang, wielding his "lucky" talent and system, journeys through suspicion and betrayal: the secrets of the twelve zodiac animals, the ambitions of the Qilin Guild, the perseverance of the Nine Heirs Organization, and nearly two hundred different abilities clashing in the open and covert—every step treads a perilous path of life and death. There are no easy, wish-fulfillment stories, only brutal sacrifices reminiscent of "A Song of Ice and Fire": the resolute act of giving up a chance at rebirth, the unwavering faith left behind by the departing First Snow, and the path of redemption paved with the blood of teammates—making "burning out one's life is the crown" more than just a slogan. Here, beasts possess humanity, and humans possess bestiality. Beneath the core theme of "the world is fake, love is real," power struggles and emotional bonds intertwine, each plot twist overturning conventional wisdom, each confrontation questioning one's original intentions. A mind-blowing masterpiece followed by millions of readers, this work blends Cthulhu mythos with localized narrative, turning a survival game into an ultimate allegory about humanity. When the Hornbill sounds the horn of the Seven Deadly Beasts' awakening, when even the closest family members may be the ultimate enemy, can Gao Yang lead the remaining humans to smash through this false cage? Open "The Mysterious City of Beasts," and you'll be sleepless tonight—every smiling face you see may conceal deadly fangs.

    He returned from the future, solely to reclaim the great path he was owed. Having traversed hundreds of thousands of years of the cultivation world, from an unknown nobody to the mastermind behind the Celestial Court, he left behind countless karmic consequences across the myriad realms—some revered him as a Celestial Lord, some cursed him as a jinx, some hated him to the bone, and some remembered him until death. In his eyes, everyone shared only one thing—"Why are you looking at me? I don't know you." His life motto was simple: No initiative, no rejection, no responsibility. Cultivation, spreading the Dao, building the Celestial Court—all were merely "side jobs" he casually did throughout his long life. What truly mattered was only one thing—returning to the future to complete the path to enlightenment he had failed to achieve once before. His will spanned millennia, karma woven into a vast net. The Celestial Court was the scheme he laid out, and reincarnation was the shackles he would shatter. When he once again stood before the Gates of Hell, touching the stone tablet inscribed with the *Scripture of Reincarnation*, all seemingly unrelated choices, all those "unfamiliar" people and events, transformed into the steps beneath his feet at that moment. You think you're the protagonist in his story, but in reality, you're just a stepping stone on his path. "Why Are You Looking at Me? I Don't Know You" shows you how a man who treats the heavens as a chessboard, cause and effect as a tool, and "I don't know you" as a catchphrase, gradually elevates himself to the pinnacle of the Dao, a place no one can reach, over the long course of time.

    I've followed this novel for almost two thousand chapters, and even listened to over a thousand more using the audiobook function, and I still love it. I sincerely recommend it to any book lovers experiencing a reading slump. The author provides reasonable and rigorous explanations for many plot holes in the original work, making the reading experience very smooth, without any abrupt "forced explanations." Although the protagonist is a "god," he doesn't disrupt the balance of the *Detective Conan* world. He's a mental genius and knows parts of the original plot. This information gap doesn't weaken the suspense; instead, it deepens the layers of the power struggle, making it very enjoyable to read. The novel also incorporates other worlds, but the length is well-controlled, with the main stage always remaining within the *Detective Conan* world. Furthermore, the author rationalizes the settings of other systems using the underlying logic of the *Detective Conan* world, perfectly resolving common conflicts between different power systems. The overall style is consistent, with no jarring or disjointed feeling. And important characters haven't been weakened, so *Detective Conan* fans can rest assured.

    [Tomato Book Recommendation Guide] Discovered a hilarious, unconventional campus novel that will have you laughing your head off! If you're tired of the usual grievances and endless leveling up, try "Getting Stronger After Getting Beaten Up from the Start"! The protagonist, Bai Mo's, daily life consists of: waking up to the popular "Piggy Hero" anthem, going to the breakfast stall to "rectify" food safety (only to get chased and beaten up), and... Being ganged up on by the entire school every day for his sharp tongue. The most amazing thing is his "victim-spoofing" system, a "trolling the host" type of literature—making him bow and say "It's what I should do" after being scolded, and unlocking the [Thousand Hammers and Hundred Refinements] physical enhancement skill when he's bruised and battered. Watching him earn the most negative emotional points in the most cowardly way, constantly teetering on the edge of self-destruction and becoming stronger, will definitely make you laugh until your abs hurt! The author truly understands the absurdity of everyday life: from the straightforward sabotage of the breakfast stall auntie, to the "spectacle" of being surrounded by hundreds of people at the school gate, to the three "thoughtful" friends sending reminder messages that he perfectly misses—every chapter is a freshly baked collection of hilarious and absurd moments. Perfect for those looking to relax; guaranteed to boost your mood by 10086! That's all.
