In the early days of China's reform and opening up, Chen Mo (Wang Bingxiang), a returned educated youth, brings new technology blueprints back to the state-owned Hongguang Factory to promote reform, only to clash head-on with Lin Xiaotang (Xiaoli), who defends traditional craftsmanship. Chen mocks the old methods as “too slow to survive,” while Xiaotang accuses him of “forgetting the workers’ roots.” But when the factory faces closure due to lost orders, Chen’s hidden scars from rural entrepreneurship are revealed, and Xiaotang’s secret of caring for her terminally ill mother comes to light. They realize their “opposition” is just the same obsession to save the factory. When Chen merges new tech with old craftsmanship to win an overseas order, Xiaotang—holding her mother’s handmade badge—cries and throws herself into his arms. Turned out, the “fiery” era isn’t about one choice, but two stubborn people finally turning their “conflict” into shared warmth.
