Song Hai Mingfan

I am an engineer who paints pipes, and I love reading Song Dynasty after get off work. I always feel that many novels that rewrite that period of history are too "cool" and have too many golden fingers. Four years ago, I had a sudden idea and tried to use engineering thinking to solve the most difficult period of history: if an ordinary person with a bit of modern thinking fell into the quagmire of the late Southern Song Dynasty, how could he struggle? Only after this trial did I realize how difficult it was. There are so many historical details, and red lines are repeatedly touched when writing, and there are piles of scrapped manuscripts. The biggest obstacle is logic: the Yuan Dynasty is very systematic. How can an ordinary person win if they are thrown into it? If you don't use the golden finger, the story won't start; if you open it too hard, it will become a joke. Until one day, I looked at the pipe compensator on the drawing - it does not rely on hard force to bear stress, but relies on flexible elbows and expansion joints to convert force - and it suddenly worked. What I want to write about is not "victory" but "survival". The protagonist's knowledge is not used to crush the times, but to point out a path that meets the material and cognitive limits of the time for a group of people who want to survive in a desperate situation. He is not a savior, he is just a precocious child in the ruins, holding back his tears to find a few more bricks and stones for the people behind him. So, there is this story. It is not easy, even a little clumsy, but it contains my deepest condolences and humblest assumptions about that era. This time, I want to try to finish it.
