Pigs Fly into the Sky

Gu Qiao, a top student in the architecture department in the early 1990s, was assigned to Yuecheng, a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River after graduation. This is an epochal epic in China's era of large-scale infrastructure construction. Over the past thirty years, Gu Qiao and his colleagues plunged into a feverish construction frenzy and reshaped the city's skeleton with their own hands. In the dividends of this era, countless people went to sea to fight, interpreting the wealth myth of ups and downs and life and death games. Many successful people rode the waves and arrogantly attributed their huge wealth to their personal abilities. They eventually fell to pieces when the tide receded, revealing their greed and fragility. Gu Qiao, who has no background, has been working diligently and hard in the real industry for half his life, but he has never been able to reach the ideal freedom of wealth. What is extremely dramatic is that an unexpected investment in a high-tech enterprise unexpectedly made him step into the super hot spot of the times, thereby achieving a class leap. When the exhausted Gu Qiao finally relieved himself of his burdens and retreated to his pastoral life in Qifeng Valley, he looked back at the 30 years of rapid development and sighed: In the face of the mighty wheel of the times, personal efforts are important, but the trump card of fate is often hidden in the inadvertent torrent of the times.
