The 90S: the Legend of Brothers

"Crazy 90: The Legend of Brothers" is set in the Metro West District, a heavy industrial base in Northeast China in the 1990s. It tells the passionate life of Chen Mo, a young man from the bottom of the world, who struggled side by side with his brothers Li Jianjun and Wang Lei in the torrent of the times. 17-Year-old Chen Mo is a "problem student" at Tiexi Technical School. The family dilemma of his father being laid off and his mother running a stall gave him a premature glimpse into the harshness of life amid discrimination and bullying. Until they met Li Jianjun, the son of a veteran, and Wang Lei, a rural boy, the three teenagers who were marginalized by fate became sworn sworn brothers with their fists, fighting against campus bullying with their youthful passion, and guarding their respective dignity in ignorance. When the factory director's daughter Lin Xiaoxue appears, their youthful worries are disturbed, and when the gang leader Zhang Hu threatens to break the peace, their life trajectories suddenly deviate from the established track. From the iron roof of the technical school to the neon lights of the video hall, from the steel jungle of unfinished buildings in Hainan to the surging crowds at Guangzhou Railway Station, the three brothers rode on the pain of state-owned enterprise reform, the wave of market economy and the wind of crackdowns, and rushed forward in the cracks between the underworld and the business road. They once defended their friendship with a switchblade, gambled on the future with unfinished buildings, became the iconic kings of the times in the smoke of VCD, and fell and climbed again in the wave of the Internet. When the bell-bottoms of the past were replaced by suits, and when street fights turned into business negotiations, the graffiti engraved on the red brick walls, the bloody beer bottles, and the vows made in the late-night bathhouse have always been heated by the years. This is the youth epic of the 1990s, about brothers, love and struggle, and about how a group of teenagers built their own world on the ruins of steel and chimneys.
