A tender epic depicting the great social changes in China in the 1990s
In the southern town of Liuhe, veteran Lin Jianguo returned to his hometown with his skills. At that time, self-employment had just sprouted, the trend of working southward had begun, and BP machines and black-and-white TVs began to enter ordinary people's homes.
From repair shop to flood fighting and rescue, from karaoke to laid-off and re-employed, he and a group of vivid characters such as primary school teacher Su Yulan, old party secretary Zhang Chenggui, and migrant youth Wang Dayong, witnessed the ups and downs of an era.
This is a story about dreams and reality, departure and return. On the dusty country roads, they wrote their own sunny years with enthusiasm and simplicity.
