This is a story focusing on the changes in China's oil industry and the fate of oil people. The novel takes the struggles and emotions of the male and female protagonists Lin Feng and Su Xiaoyao as the main line, and outlines the persistence and choices of oil people in the torrent of the times for more than 30 years.
Faced with the restructuring of the oil field and numerous difficulties and crises, Lin Feng persisted in his faith and fought with wits and courage; Su Xiaoyao has also been struggling to balance her ideals and family. The emotions of oil workers are constantly tempered in the wind and sand of the Gobi and the ravines of the plateau, just like those "kowtow machines" that never stop, carving affectionate beats in the wilderness.
Through detailed descriptions of the persistence of ideals and beliefs, the conflict between family and career, the work shows the development process of China's petroleum industry from arduous entrepreneurship to technological innovation. The novel not only depicts the dedication spirit of the oilmen "I dedicate oil to the motherland" and "dedicate my youth and my life", but also deeply explores how personal ideals, collective interests and feelings of family and country are intertwined and symbiotic in the changes of the times. This is a hymn dedicated to all those who work tirelessly to find light and long for a better life, witnessing the passion and tenderness behind the rolling black gold.
Purpose: Through vivid and touching stories, we praise the dedication and sincere emotions of the oil people, and eulogize the oil people who work tirelessly for the vigorous development of the motherland's oil industry.
