It tells about the incidents in the politics, economy, people's livelihood, irrigation works, military, road construction, and space technology after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

Notes:
Propaganda history on crack. These rapid-fire reports look like they might have been sandwiched between TV shows. Kind of like Schoolhouse Rock, only with industrial-communist vignettes instead of animated songs about English grammar and US politics.
From HKFlix: "Do the math: 32 short films with a total running length of 27 minutes = 51 seconds per film. This is one of the weirdest films we've ever seen."
