Made in China 1987

Chen Yang, a senior engineer from the new century, unexpectedly travels back to 1987, inhabiting the body of a government-sponsored overseas student. The original host was stigmatized for staying abroad and dabbling in painting, then repatriated and subjected to scrutiny, facing a bleak future. At that time, China's industry was in shambles, with metallurgy, precision machine tools, and heavy hydraulic equipment all under foreign technological blockade, leaving the industrial chain full of vulnerabilities and constraints. Others saw him as useless, unaware that Chen Yang's mind carried decades of comprehensive modern industrial knowledge across all sectors. Breaking foreign technological monopolies, filling gaps in domestic industry step by step, starting from scratch, he props up the backbone of China's industry.
