Ai Changan and Shen Xia represent Huaqi employees along with other college students who have joined the company as interns. Their stories are intertwined with the Chinese automobile industry, which is the source of their livelihoods. In the mid-1980s, a group of college graduates arrived at an automobile factory in the northwest to begin their internships. Shen Xia, who had plans to study abroad, witnessed the development of the 7-ton truck and decided to stay. Alongside Ai Chang'an, a young technician at the factory, they embark on a journey to turn the tide for the industry. The market is unforgiving, and the new generation of dedicated men and women face countless challenges. The backbone of Huaqi has nearly been completely undermined by competitors.
