This book describes the selfless and fearless spirit of the older generation of hydropower workers in the early days of the founding of New China, against the backdrop of the establishment of a large-scale professional hydropower construction team in our country. The author uses the artistic technique of typical character creation to create a group portrait of the contemporary "Dayu" headed by Zhang Qiyuan. Through a series of personal emotional entanglements and the overcoming of difficulties at work, the author describes the struggle of countless ordinary people who actively participated in hydropower construction to realize the simple ideal of turning flood hazards into water conservancy, praying for good weather and hoping for safe rivers for thousands of years. The book is about 280,000 words.

In Shajiaba in midsummer, the tops of the mountains are crumbling, and there is no sign of life. Qian Jining stood on the road to the dam on the left bank, dazed for a while. This is Qian Jining's sixth year of construction at the Shajiaba Hydropower Station. The construction work was carried out intermittently, and the people under his control were changed one after another like a revolving door. As a project manager, seeing that there was no hope of turning around the project, I began to think hard about how to get out. But as the manager of such a crappy project, how do you find a good home? With the current pace of employment, it is really not easy for a grassroots man without any background to find a good home. To be good, you have to find a way to prove that you are capable, and that this capability is exactly the kind that some important person who has the final say prefers without fault.
