The Story

Li Xiuming faces the ultimate betrayal from his own blood. In the 1990s, this veteran craftsman dedicates his life to helping his son, Li Dalong, grow the Xiaolong Factory into a major operation. Yet once the business stabilizes, his son and daughter-in-law view him as a burden. They pressure him to surrender his skills and dividends, eventually kicking him out over a few dozen yuan in food expenses. Heartbroken, Li Xiuming departs with his apprentice, Chu Xiaofu. This act reveals his hidden identity as a Luban master, a secret kept for two decades. A state-owned manufacturing plant immediately hires him as chief engineer at a high salary. He restarts imported equipment and leads a new factory to win major orders. Meanwhile, the former Xiaolong Factory descends into crisis. Li Dalong is forced to bow his head and beg his father for assistance. Li Xiuming now stands at a crossroads, weighed down by past trauma and the complex ties of family.
