I was once a piece of iron

Coming through a great deal of difficulties

Smelting from iron ore

Until the billet is formed

Continuously quenching from lots of processes

Built me an indomitable and undaunted spirit

And was toughened and hardened into steel.

I have thought it would be free of suffering from now on

But with a big BANG

I was thrown into the furnace again

The burning of fire

The beating of a hammer

Forged me into a ring

That moment

I felt aggrieved

As I lost my heart

However

The suffering did not stop

I was clamped inside the machine tool

Turning tools were moving up and down

Cutting me mercilessly

I screamed

I struggled

But was thrown into the furnace again

After annealing, quenching and tempering

Something’s changed inside me

I was more tenacious than ever

Although with a funny pitch-black appearance

As per drawing size

After carefully hard turning, drilling, grinding and polishing

The error was kept within ±1um

Finally

I became the look from the drawing

And was assembled into a finest machine~
