Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Zhao Cheng looked at Li Kuiyong's receding back, shook his head and continued to patrol.

Walking to a small blast furnace, Zhao Cheng saw a group of women comrades busily adding materials into the blast furnace. He couldn't help but sigh at the enthusiasm of the people at that time.

These jobs are all done in Yiwu. There is no salary at all. They are just provided with three meals a day, and the food is not very good, basically just cornmeal steamed buns.

But the people were just that enthusiastic, especially during the major construction a few months later, when that enthusiasm reached its peak.

How could so many important buildings be completed within a year? It was the result of the voluntary labor of many Peking people.

Many people use their off-get off work time to help with the work on site, some pushing carts and some moving bricks.

Zhao Cheng looked at it for a while and found that the temperature of this blast furnace was not high enough. How high a temperature could wood be burned? Many iron materials could not reach the level of becoming steel.

This was also Zhao Cheng's objection to this movement. But there was nothing he could do, as his influence was insignificant.

"Xiao Zhao, come here. There is a mechanic over here whose car has stalled. Let's help and see if we can push it." When Zhao Cheng was watching the fun, Director Li of the street called Zhao Cheng over.

Zhao Cheng looked and saw a truck parked on the road with the hood open. A driver in his thirties was sweating profusely as he was looking for a problem.

"Director Li, why did you come here in person?" Zhao Cheng walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and said to Director Li.

"Hey, don't mention it. I've been staying here for a week and can't even go home every day! Look, another car broke down, and this car belongs to someone else's machine repair shop! I finally persuaded Director Liu of the machine repair shop to borrow it, but it has broken down three times before I've driven it for a few days! Oh!" Director Li's words made Zhao Cheng feel a little bit amused.

Many of the trucks available for loan were captured during the Japanese invasion and the Battle of Nanjing. While they're all foreign-made and high-quality, they've aged quite well! Some are over a decade old.

Zhao Cheng could tell at a glance that this broken car was an old car used by the Japanese at that time. The machine repair shop was really cunning and lent such a broken car to the street. Zhao Cheng couldn't help but sigh that Director Liu was quite considerate and assigned a master to a broken car. Otherwise, the car would have completely broken down the first time it broke down. How could it have the chance to break down twice more?

Zhao Cheng took out a cigarette and handed it to Director Li, lighting it for him. The two of them puffed away, waiting for the driver to see if he could fix the car. If not, they would have to push the car again and try to stop it from catching fire.

More than ten minutes later, the driver raised his head from under the hood, jumped off the truck and got into the cab.

"Director Li, find a few people to help push the car out! I'll see if I can prevent it from catching fire!"

"Okay!" Director Li immediately agreed politely.

He turned around and called Zhao Cheng and a few young men standing nearby, and walked to the back of the truck to prepare to push the truck. With a slogan from Director Li, Zhao Cheng pushed the truck with all his strength, and the truck began to move forward.

At the beginning, the truck was coasting in neutral. After about a hundred meters, the truck picked up speed. The driver suddenly released the clutch and the engine started running. A thick black smoke came out of the rear of the truck, choking Zhao Cheng and making him cough.

But one thing was lucky, the engine of this car started working immediately and did not continue to malfunction.

"Director Li, I'll drive the car back to the factory for an inspection to see what's wrong. Wait until I come back to pull the steel ingots!" The driver stopped the car without turning off the engine, stuck his head out and shouted to Director Li.

"Okay, you go first! I'll see if I can coordinate with another car over here!" Director Li certainly agreed with the driver's suggestion. This car really needs to go back and be repaired!
