Although the films of the Cultural Revolution, when viewed today, carry the rich and distinct characteristics of a specific era, it is precisely this that makes it possible to recall the products of this particular period in today's dazzling film industry, and they can also evoke a strong sense of nostalgia in the audience! This film is precisely such a film! During the "Cultural Revolution", technological innovation became the focus of political struggles in the rolling mill of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company. A group of young workers led by Liang Dongxia established an innovation team, claiming to transform the rolling mill into an automated one. They used this as an excuse to forcibly occupy the design office. Although the director of the design office had the support of the director of the Revolutionary Committee, behind the young workers was the Party Secretary of the Metallurgical Bureau. Yu Congwu, seeing the situation, changed his approach. First, he transferred Liang Dongxia's team to the design studio, and then he persuaded Gao Lei, a young man with a strong desire for fame and fortune among them, to set up another group and play against Liang. When Liang Dongxia's team achieved results, Yu Congwu incited the director of the Revolutionary Committee to transfer Liang Dongxia out of the design studio. He then stole the team's data and gave it to Gao Lei so that Gao Lei could produce the design drawings before Liang Dongxia's team. At the meeting for reviewing the drawings, Liang Dongxia exposed Yu's theft and criticized the wrong approach taken by the director of the Revolutionary Committee. Gao Lei also received an education from this.[Collapse]
