A man named Chen Lidao walked from Qinzhidao to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway.
He had seen Meng Jiangnu cry at the Great Wall, he had seen Meng Tian overseeing the construction of the Straight Road, he had seen the Zhaozhou Bridge closing the dragon, he had seen boats disembarking from the Bianjing Hong Bridge, he had seen Guo Shoujing administering the Tonghui River, and he had seen the Golden Eagle entrusting him with three martial arts secret books and a water conservancy manuscript on the stone bridge - "Wait until the day when the world is unified, and then take them out."
Some people think he has lived for two thousand years, others say he is just a dream in a pillow. He doesn't explain. He just kept building roads, bringing the experience of each era into the next era.
The story is fictional. The craftsmanship is real. Every section of road, every bridge, every dam - they are all real traces of China's five thousand years of engineering history.
"Li Dao" is not the story of one person. This is the story of all road builders.
A large-scale historical epic novel about roads and bridges - from the straight road of Qin to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, from Jing Ke's assassination of Qin to the opening of the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway.
The road is there and the people are there. The Tao is there, the root is there.
——Li Dao Lao Chen
Purpose: From the perspective of road builders, write the spiritual inheritance of China's five thousand years of road and bridge history, and pay tribute to the unknown craftsmen who silently paved the way for generations.
