In the 1990s, the compound of the northern state-owned textile factory.
Su Jing, a female worker in the spinning workshop, guards the roaring spinning machine and lives a serious life amidst the sound of cotton batting and machines day after day. A sudden danger occurred in the workshop, and a co-worker's long hair was caught in the machine. This thrilling accident allowed her to understand the weight of factory safety and also see through the warmth between people in ordinary days.
Neighbors stay with each other in the compound, and workers help each other. Zhou Kai, who also works in the machine repair shop of the factory, is a neighbor who grew up together in the compound and is enthusiastic and helpful in times of trouble.
The tide of the times is rolling in, and the news of factory restructuring slowly spreads to the compound. There is no grand legend, only the daily fireworks of a generation of state-owned factory workers. They guard their posts, their families, each other, and the hard-won peace and warmth of ordinary life amid the changes of the times.
