Created in China

A Refresh look at China's modernization of the manufacturing industry in the 90s.

Created in China is a modern business drama about the rise of China's manufacturing industry in the 90s, starring Zhang Xin Cheng and Song Er. The acting and on-screen chemistry between Zhang Xin Cheng and Song Er were good. It was great to see the struggles, the rise, and the fall of doing business in China, where Lin Jun wanted to modernize it, but faced resistance from the old generation.

One of the disappointments of this drama is that Song Er's character, Cui Bing Bing, did not appear until the midpoint of the drama.

Synopsis: In the late 1990s, Liu Jun, who studied in Germany, returned to his hometown of Donghai. Following the tide of the times, he is determined to modernize his father's old machinery factory with leading technology. As a private enterprise, Liu Jun struggles to secure capital, establish connections, and acquire technology. However, his friend Qian Hong Ming's import and export businesses, as well as his real estate ventures, are flourishing at this time, and the two come to look out for each other. Liu Jun becomes acquainted with Yang Xun through technology, yet their falling out is also a result of the same. Fortunately, Song Yun Hui, the head of the Donghai Group, favors Liu Jun and provides strong backing for the development of the Tengfei Factory. Despite his skills, Liu Jun remains down-to-earth as he adapts to the local environment while attempting to break through technical barriers. While working hard to complete the transformation of the Tengfei Factory, Liu Jun comes to realize his own value. Tengfei Factory also strives to lead the torrent of China's manufacturing industry.
