In 1984 in the Northeast, technician Lin Weiguo went south with a notebook and a stack of food stamps in his hands amid the torrent of factory closures. When he lit up the dim light of the oscilloscope in a rental house in Guangzhou, he wrote the first word of a technological story that would shake the world in the future.
During the turbulent forty years, his family's fate was closely intertwined with the rise of a great power:
· The eldest son, Lin Zhiyuan, rushed into the no-man's land of chip research and development, and fought a bloody path for "Chinese chips" under the iron curtain of Western technology;
· The eldest daughter Lin Zhiqing retreated to the deep palace of the Forbidden City, using her fingertips and technology to resurrect a thousand-year civilization and let the silent cultural relics make a strong voice of the times;
· He himself started from the workshop of "Huayao" and forged the "Made in China" signboard into the sword of "Created in China".
This is the youth of three generations, and it is also an epic of struggle as evidenced by mountains and rivers. They answered the same question in different ways: how can a person or a family move towards a great rejuvenation with their motherland?
Purpose: This work, through the epic struggle of three generations of a family, profoundly explains that "Chinese-style modernization" is a modernization that harmonizes material civilization and spiritual civilization. The purpose is to explore: how individual struggle merges into the torrent of the times, how self-reliance in science and technology and the continuous inheritance of culture, like the two wheels of a car and the two wings of a bird, jointly drive the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The story uses "mountains and rivers as evidence and years as its name" to pay tribute to the perseverance and leaps of each generation, conveying the deep feelings of family and country and cultural confidence.
