This book is a novel chronicling the glorious journey of the Railway Corps from its inception to its disbandment. The author describes the ordinary railway soldier Shi Yifan and his comrades who dreamed of Changbai, stormed Beijing, fought fiercely in Chengdu and Kunming, fought hard in Xiangyu, aspired to Qinghai-Tibet, dug roads in the mountains, and built bridges in the water. The work eulogizes the broad patriotism, tortuous life trajectory and legendary love story of that generation of railway soldiers. This is a magnificent epic about railway soldiers, a picture about the ups and downs of life, and a high-pitched and passionate song of patriotism. This work is a strong documentary novel, in which real history and fictional plots are closely integrated. The 35-year journey of the Railway Corps from its establishment in 1947 during war to its withdrawal from active service in 1984 during peacetime is the main line of the work. The characters, plots and stories follow this line to interpret scenes of unique and touching historical scenes, making the silent historical documents come alive. Generations of railway officers and soldiers have become heroes who write glorious history and create great achievements.
