In 1955, more than three hundred enthusiastic Shanghai youths with the mission of supporting Northwest China construction arrived at Sanlidong coal mine in Tongchuan. Fifty years later, most of them have passed away. The film consists of fifteen fragments, recording the lives of retired miners, the deceased and the dissipated years. The director memorialises the tenacity and dignity of life through filming his father's generation: the portrait of coal miners.

The 15 miners are: Qi Guoqi (deceased), Gu Longxiang, Shen Longgen, Wang Zhengxiang, Yao Hongchang, Ge Dengfa, Zhang Baisheng, Lu Rongchu, Zhou Shougen, Luo Shijun, Ding Fuzhen, Tong Guang, Gao Zhangshun, Chen Yixiang, Zhu Yongsheng (deceased).
