Summary

The novella and short story collection通天记 consists of two parts: the first part is "Legends of the Dongfeng People," and the second is "A Brief Biography of Que Xinfei." The stories in the first part are relatively independent; the second consists of several interrelated short stories featuring Que Xinfei, chronicling his journey from a mountain village to university, then to the space city, and ultimately becoming a rocket launch expert. Set against the backdrop of the Dongfeng Space City in Jiuquan, Gansu, the collection portrays a group of "most lovable people" who live, work, and strive in the space city. They witnessed and even personally participated in the successful launch of China's first artificial satellite Dongfanghong-1 and the successful completion of the first manned spaceflight mission, among others, making great contributions to the motherland's space cause. The work celebrates their spirit of sacrificing the small family for the greater family and selfless dedication, while also showing their rich personalities in daily life, full of human warmth and beauty.

About the author

刘庆贵 Author

Liu Qinggui is an author about whom relatively limited public information is available. At present, only one work by this author is included in the collection: the novel Tongtian Ji (Records of Reaching Heaven). Judged by its common classification, the book falls under social fiction, suggesting that it draws on real social life and focuses on human relationships and the concrete situations people face in society. Because no clear records are available regarding the author's biography, nationality, or dates of birth and death, it is not possible at this stage to trace his personal development or creative trajectory, nor to determine the place of Tongtian Ji within his writing career. On the basis of the available information, Liu Qinggui's profile as a writer is presented mainly through this single work, which readers may take as an entry point for understanding his narrative orientation and social concerns. As more material becomes public, a fuller picture of the author and the significance of his work may emerge.
