铁人
Synopsis
Set in China's oil fields, the film follows enthusiastic young workers pushing forward the nation’s modernization.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yilin (Huang Bo), a cynical youth, questions his father's legacy. Flashbacks reveal the hardship faced by Wang and his team when they arrived in barren Daqing, working five days straight to help China shed its "oil-poor" label.
