Synopsis.
Ai Changan and Shen Xia represent Huaqi employees along with Xu Chi and other college students who have joined the company as interns. Their stories are connected to the Chinese automobile industry from which their livelihoods depended on.
In the mid-1980s, a group of college graduates came to an automobile factory located in the northwest to start their internship. The timing of their arrival coincided with an urgent directive by the government to increase the 5-ton truck capacity into 7-tons. A state-owned enterprise that once achieved brilliance now stands on the crossroads of opportunities and challenges. The pressure to deliver is tremendous.
Shen Xia who intended to study abroad witnessed the development of the 7-ton truck and decides to stay. Together with Ai Chang’an, a young technician at the factory, they begin their journey to turning the tide for the industry. The market is ruthless such that the new generation of dedicated men and women face countless difficulties. The backbone of Huaqi has almost been completely dug out by opponents.
Shen Xia and Ai Chang’an make bold choices to reform old mechanisms and develop new trucks. They eventually gain a foothold in the market to become a force that cannot be ignored. Huaqi eventually becomes one of China’s top 500 machinery companies with its products being exported overseas. The individuals who dedicated their youth to their work not only won in their careers but also found love.
