An Old Machine Reveals the Warmth and Coldness of Human Hearts

About the story

Maintenance worker Xu Weidong follows proper procedures to buy an old punch press the factory plans to dispose of and takes it home. Others think it worthless, but with experience and patience he gradually repairs it. Later, an important order arrives. Although the new machinery is efficient, it cannot easily produce a particular specialized component. The discarded press returns to the factory, and Xu Weidong proposes coordinating the old and new equipment. His technical solution not only ensures successful delivery but also prompts the factory to establish a specialized small-parts team, allowing experience, technology, and innovation each to contribute fully.
