Taking the trajectory of life as the axis, it unfolds the development history and cultural inheritance of Xi'an over the past sixty years. From a workshop apprentice to an academician of the Academy of Engineering, from building a "Thousand Cities Thousand Craftsmen" training workshop to Chang'an Machinery, she spent her life proving that machinery is never cold steel, but the temperature of earth and fire, and the beating of the ancient city's context in the modern era. In the end, she turned into a gear on the engine of the "Silk Road Star", allowing her dust-like ingenuity to forever rotate in the morning bell and evening drum of Chang'an.
