Synopsis

Also known as "Trajectory" ——Dedicated to all those who have left a mark on their lives in the torrent of the times The tracks are solid, steel and iron, signals and current, an industry's twenty-year journey from introduction to independence. The trajectory is virtual, youth and dreams, love and friendship, the growth rings left by a group of people in the city of Beijing. The trajectory was the wind beside the Yellow River. It blew sand all over my face and said, "This wind has such a fucking personality." The trajectory is the city on the White Pagoda Mountain, with unfulfilled vows hidden in the lights. The trajectory is that of a night talk in the 919 dormitory, where the teenagers made wishes, but in the morning they discovered that it was all bullshit. The trajectory is the heat of beef noodles, a bowl filled with the nostalgia of a stranger. The track is the figure buried in the library, the electric guitar tearing the night sky, and the brother handing over a cigarette: "If you want to open up, the track is still long." This is "Trajectory" - Not lines on a map, not numbers on a timetable. It is the annual rings pressed against the rails, and the trajectory of the breakout at low altitude. It is dedicated to all those who are struggling inside and outside the system, wandering between ideals and reality, and trying to leave a mark on their lives in the two decades since graduation. This book is dedicated to every striver who has left a trace of their life in Beijing.

Reader comments

[Recommendation] "Trail·Traces" - Twenty Years of Drifting to the North, an epic of the times of a railway signalman
In 2004, a boy named Country Boy entered university with his luggage on his back. He didn't know that he would experience the entire process of China's high-speed rail from technology introduction to independent research, and he didn't know that this rail would closely weld his life trajectory with the twenty years of changes in the city of Beijing. This is not the kind of cool novel with a golden start, but a realistic picture of the times to the core. The author uses Beijing-style ridicule and sharp writing to take you back to that era. Three keywords will tell you why it is worth pursuing: True·Industry article: Focusing on railway communication signals, an area little known to the outside world, from technology introduction negotiations in 2004, to Beijing-Tianjin intercity in 2008, to independent research in 2020, and low-altitude economic integration in 2024. All technical details, workplace struggles, and the sophistication of people in the system are all sourced from real front-line materials. The three lines of state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and government are intertwined. It can be called the "railway version of "In the Name of the People."" Humor + realistic youth: There is no suspended love between the boss and the president, only the real daily life of night chats in the university dormitory, staying up all night in the Internet cafe, the frustration of pursuing the girl from the normal university next door, and drinking and bragging with the local boy Song Bai. The language is vivid and spicy. As you read it, you will feel that Niu Xiangdong is your brother who sleeps on the upper bunk. A grand layout of 2 million words: four volumes are planned. The first volume has started to be serialized steadily and will be updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It's not just about writing, it's about actually making a work that can be left behind. If you are an old bookworm who is tired of the same systematic articles and want to read some realistic themes with the weight of the times and the arc of the characters; or you are a practitioner in engineering, state-owned enterprises, or institutions and want to see how your industry is presented in a literary way - this book will be your cup of tea.
