The Yangtze River Flows

In 1992, in the old industrial city on the banks of the Yangtze River, a thunderous "buyout of seniority" boomed on the family dinner table of model worker Jiang Jianguo. A German vernier caliper, which symbolizes the spirit of craftsmanship, and an order from Shenzhen allowed him to resolutely cut off the "iron rice bowl" and push the family ship into the huge waves of the market economy. In the next thirty years, the fate of the Jiang family was intertwined: His son Jiang Hai, in the wave of globalization and financial crisis, developed his father's small factory into a foreign trade giant, but struggled torn between "efficiency" and "morality"; granddaughter Jiang Xiaoyue, under the call of the era of self-reliance and self-reliance through science and technology, resolutely returned to China to join a new energy business, trying to "refresh" the manufacturing of her father's generation with intelligence. From "making food and clothing for the family", to "making the enterprise stronger", to "letting the country have core technologies", the understanding of "development" of the three generations continues to collide and sublimate. Their factories went from being on the verge of closure to transformation and upgrading, and their families went from fierce confrontation to reconciliation. They jointly wrote a spiritual epic of contemporary Chinese families. This is not only a family's struggle history, but also a magnificent story of how generations of Chinese use their hands, wisdom and responsibility to define dignity, protect values ​​and create a future in the flow of history.
