I rarely comment on my Friday music videos, but this one deserves a bit of context. It is about the social upheaval stemming from Deng Xiaoping's reforms and opening of China. It is about a factory worker and his family facing the uncertainty and chaos of a changing society. The lyrics are quite nice as is the musical composition, which starts out placid and works into a frenzy.

Here is a live performance, with English translation: https://youtu.be/NLqaEnq1IPA?si=kE94BqLXwia6nklU.
