Ai Changan and Shen Xia represent Huaqi employees along with other college students who have joined the company as interns. Their stories are connected to the Chinese automobile industry from which their livelihoods depended on.
In the mid-1980s, a group of college graduates came to an automobile factory located in the northwest to start their internship. Shen Xia who intended to study abroad witnessed the development of the 7-ton truck and decides to stay.

Shen Xia and Ai Chang'an make bold choices to reform old mechanisms and develop new trucks. They eventually gain a foothold in the market to become a force that cannot be ignored. Huaqi eventually becomes one of China’s top 500 machinery companies with its products being exported overseas. The individuals who dedicated their youth to their work not only won in their careers but also found love.
