Synopsis

This is a documentary made by the son of a miner, focusing on the lives of the elder generation. In 1955, more than 300 ardent youths from Shanghai came to the Sanlidong Coal Mine, aiming to realise their hopes and dreams of contributing to the Construction of the Great Northwest. Fifty years later, few of them are still alive. This film focuses on the trials and hardships of the survivors.
