Borrowing Fire from the World
Realistic Fiction人间借火
Tang Yuan 01
In 1998, Tang Xiaosheng, a young man from southern Gansu who failed the college entrance examination, squeezed into Shanghai with a printing job dispatch order and tempered his life in ink and sweat. During the 42 days of SARS lockdown, he took his workers to eat and live in the workshop, and he pioneered the "contactless assembly line" and won a foreign patent. When the financial crisis was raging, he mortgaged his real estate to acquire an old factory, and taught striking workers new techniques with his hands full of blisters. From the collective dormitories in the early days of Pudong development to the spotlight of the Global Forum of the International Import Expo, the yellowed dispatch form has always been hidden in the inner pocket of his suit. When the flowers fell, Tang Xiaosheng finally understood: The borrowed fire will never go out, and spring can be planted on terrazzo.
