A mark, ups and downs in half a lifetime, creates eternity between reality and reality.
> A dusty silver ring that was rejected by the supply and marketing cooperative, with an awkward notch, represents all the dignity of Meilong Town silversmith Chen Qitai in 1983. The snap of his wife Lin Hongmei cutting off the gold dowry chain and throwing it into the furnace ignited the town's gilding frenzy and planted the seeds of greed. The boy who took medicine at night after the price of gold soared, the life-saving mold handed over during the anti-counterfeiting storm, the son used 3D printing to reproduce the lotus hand-carved by his father...
> Thirty years of ups and downs, destiny tempered in fire and tears. When the new EU regulations are like a wall of ice, and when the virtual flames of the metaverse are scorching the eyeballs, the old craftsman Chen Qitai and his son Chen Li build a "bridge of virtuality and reality" on the fault line of the times - using calluses to rub the traces of titanium alloy as a key, let the cold code bloom into a "dance of stardust" that carries the memory of life.

> This is not a simple industrial epic, but a majestic fable about "roots and flowers", "real and virtual", "life and death". See how a scratch flows into a river of stars, how a grain of stardust reflects the joys and sorrows of the world, and in the collision of the melting pot and the code, witness the shocking journey of a handicraft family in a small Chinese town guarding the mark of life and blooming eternal light at the boundary between reality and reality. The roots are in the soil, the flowers are in the sky, the stars and dust are immortal, and the source is endless.
