The TV series "The Turbulent Years of the Great Eastern Suburbs" is based on this background to write about the great changes in the rise and fall of the factory in that year, the hard work of the workers and the emotional life. Later, with the rise of the tertiary industry, Chengdu will be the former site of the former Chengdu state-owned red light electron tube factory in the old industrial zone in the eastern suburbs, and some factories with distinctive industrial characteristics will be retained as industrial civilization sites, and combined with cultural and creative industries to build a music industry base.
