From the 1980s and 1990s to the beginning of this century, while society was undergoing profound changes, it also gave everyone many opportunities to create success and miracles in life. "Since you are not the descendants of the rich, then try your best to be the ancestors of the rich." How do they get the first pot of gold in their lives?
Xu Wencheng graduated from university and was assigned to work as a technician in a large state-owned enterprise. Just when he wanted to show off his talents on the stage of life, the factory closed down. Xu Wencheng did not lie down, but became more down-to-earth and started a new business with his own will and technology. Classmate Cheng Yida has another ability. He has a flexible mind and is capable in doing things, and he is at ease among people and in official circles. Xu Wencheng's half-sister Tian Mengqiu did not follow her brother's safe arrangements when she entered the society from college. She had a different understanding of life. As she said to her niece Xu Ru: Isn't the pursuit of wealth also an ideal and belief? Xu Fufu, who has not finished high school, was able to seize another opportunity to earn a lot of money and become a successful person in people's eyes. Xu Wencheng's wife Guan Xiuzhen and her husband dreamed of becoming rich overnight, but they ended up with a broken head and blood.
The main characters, Xu Wencheng, Tian Mengqiu, Cheng Yida, Xu Fufu, and Guan Xiuzhen, are a generation of young people who are all in their prime years, but have different life trajectories with different outlooks on life and values.
There are so many colors in the world, but they are ultimately inseparable from the three primary colors; similarly, there is truth, goodness, beauty and ugliness in the world, but ultimately it all depends on the individual pursuits of life...
