Breaking the Deadlock in Southern Xinjiang, Opening the Way Across the Land

Steep mountains hem in this land. Its rivers carry abundant water, but gorges block their courses, leaving few routes for transporting goods outward. The high cost of transport has long held back local development.

Lu Chen, the protagonist, has spent years specializing in water conservancy project planning. After arriving here, he resolves to launch a large-scale waterway construction project and open up a transport route to the outside world.

The project is difficult and will take a long time, and its progress is fraught with practical challenges. Armed with an engineering plan refined over many years, Lu Chen withstands doubts, ventures deep into the wilderness to survey the geology, and tackles one obstacle after another. He is determined to use the project to break through regional barriers, put local resources to work, and spur the revitalization of regional industries.
