The protagonist Lin Qing's parents were former railway soldiers, and he is a standard "second generation iron man". Later, as a son, he entered the company where his parents worked.
He was assigned to a remote high-speed rail construction project under extremely difficult conditions.
When he began to think about quitting, his father constantly encouraged him and told him about the difficulties they encountered while building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which helped Lin Qing regain his confidence.
He began to work hard and gradually grew into a capable technical backbone by solving technical problems that occurred at the construction site again and again, such as quicksand problems in foundation treatment and crack control during concrete pouring.
Later, Lin Qing was transferred back to the company headquarters to participate in large-scale projects. At this time, he faced challenges in interpersonal relationships, fierce competition within the company, and entangled interests of various departments.
As the domestic engineering industry began to decline and domestic opportunities became fewer and fewer, Lin Qing's company gained more opportunities for overseas projects with the advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative.
So Lin Qing was selected to participate in a high-speed rail construction project in a Southeast Asian country.
After years of overseas efforts, Lin Qing has led his team to complete a series of major projects in multiple countries. He has become a role model admired by countless people in the industry. His experience has inspired more young people to devote themselves to engineering careers and pursue their dreams.
