Last Stand

A workplace coming-of-age novel that records the changing times. The 23-year-old heroine resolutely jumped to the crisis-ridden Chengxing Factory. In this Hong Kong-funded enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy, she experienced numerous tests such as broken capital chains, technical difficulties, and separation of people. From borrowing money to pay food expenses to facing employee strikes, from technical research to customer reminders, she completed the transformation from a newcomer to a manager in the "crater seat". The story spans twenty-two years, from the closure of the factory to the reunion in the WeChat era, showing the different ways that everyone reconciles with the past. Some people live in the glory of the past, while others grow through experience. This is not only the history of the rise and fall of a factory, but also the growth fable of a generation - a story about persistence, growth and letting go.
