Engineer Shen Li asks for an advance on his salary to save his father, only to be rejected and have the factory director covet his core technology for a mere 20,000 yuan. Facing coercion, he would rather kneel to borrow money than kneel to sell his life's work. When illegal management operations bring the production line to a complete halt, Shen Li turns the tide with his sheer skill. He asks for no shares—only a fair and transparent system. Ultimately, he not only saves his father and revives the factory, but also brings China's precision manufacturing core technology to the national research stage.
