The Twists and Turns of Youth

Li Dapeng, a young man from a small town, becomes a junior office worker in a big city after graduation. As his ideals collide with reality, he and a few close friends struggle to make their way in the city: they strive, they fail, and they experience love and misunderstandings. Workplace mishaps, friendship’s ups and downs, romantic twists, and family ties make life feel like an absurd comedy. Stumbling along, they grow together and eventually find their own paths amid the dazzling city life. There is laughter along the way, and tears too, until at last they learn to make peace with themselves and the world.
