The story starts from Dongfanghong Textile Factory in Donghai City, spans from the early stage of reform and opening up to the new century, and tells the fate of Ling Yue and others.
Ling Yue started out as a maverick female worker in the factory, experienced severe crackdowns and power struggles, and later joined the crystal industry, sticking to her true heart in the battle between good and evil in the mall. Kuai Wen's poetic ideals fluctuate in reality, Liu De and his son are destroyed due to greed, and Ye Zhenzhen's complicated life is also intertwined.
Through the rise and fall of textile mills and the rise of the crystal industry, the work connects personal destiny and the changes of the times, shows the choices of different people between ideals and reality, persistence and compromise, and explores the value and persistence of beauty, freedom and humanity in the wave of the times.
Purpose: Taking the fate of Ling Yue and others as a clue, we deeply explore the multiple connotations of "beauty". It not only shows the marks of the times behind external aesthetic symbols such as bell-bottom pants and crystals, but also focuses on the spiritual perseverance of individuals in the wave of the times. Ling Yue's persistence in self and justice, Quai Wen's poetic ideals, and the goodwill of ordinary people in difficult situations are all footnotes of "beauty". The work draws on the rise and fall of textile mills and the rise of the crystal industry to connect the social changes before and after reform and opening up. In the game of power, the temptation of interests and the collision of ideals, it reveals that true beauty comes from the eternal pursuit of the authenticity of human nature and the progress of the times.
