Set against the background of a small town in eastern Hunan in the early days of reform and opening up, the story tells the story of Zhou Yaping, the director of a state-owned equipment factory, who showed courage in technological innovation, worker welfare, and anti-corruption struggles, resolved the crisis through foreign trade orders for fuse tubes, promoted the reform of the wage system, and ultimately led to a breakthrough in central and local policies. It presents the pain and hope of state-owned enterprises in the transformation period.
Purpose: To show the pain of state-owned enterprise reform from the perspective of grassroots cadres, highlight the balance between clean government construction, technological innovation and people's livelihood care, and convey the "people-oriented" reform spirit.
