"The Story of Time" takes the First Tractor Manufacturing Factory as the background and tells the story of the growth of the three siblings of the Chen family from 1975 to the beginning of the new century. The eldest sister Chen Jing studied hard and became a talented person, the second sister Chen Ling is capable and aggressive, and the younger brother Chen Guangzi inherited his father's career and became a technician. Through the different destinies of the three people, it shows how grand narratives such as reform, opening up, and economic transformation profoundly affect ordinary families, and records the glory and pain of large state-owned factories. It is a generation's affectionate look back at the industrial era.
