In the 1950s, the economic construction of New China was constantly confronted with a severe shortage of oil. Qin Limin, who had always dreamed of "oil extraction" since childhood, met Zhuang Jie, who also had a dream of "oil refining". The two young people, with different backgrounds and completely opposite personalities, carried on the banner of their forefathers and, in order to remove the label of "oil-poor country" from New China, they went from the "Yumen Oilfield" in the northwest to the "Chuangye Oilfield" in the northeast. From mutual misunderstanding to understanding and love, they experienced the whirlpools of the times together and overcame all kinds of difficulties. With their lifelong efforts, they fulfilled the solemn promise they made in their youth. Three generations of oil workers, with more than half a century of perseverance, from drilling the first oil well in New China to leading the trend of the international oil and gas industry, Chinese oil workers, with their youth, wisdom and blood, and the spirit of "striving for the nation's honor and fueling the motherland", jointly composed a glorious chapter in the development of China's oil industry on the land of China.
