A lifetime of madness, half a lifetime of watching. A thousand love letters are not worth the words "I love you forever."
This is an affectionate past event that spans thirty years, a love that is buried by time but always hot.
Mi Siqi was once the "Red Mad Cow", a talented football boy, a strong man who was sincere and a bit stupid. Wu Bing, a beautiful, intelligent, steadfast and pure intellectual woman, was his "senior sister" whom he fell in love with at first sight and stayed with him forever. The two met during a football game in college, and the seeds of love quietly sprouted. However, due to fate's tricks and misunderstandings, they passed each other time and time again.
Mi Siqi ended his sports career due to injury and moved to work at a remote TV station in Changgu County. Here, he got acquainted with the shrewd and greedy but capable Zhang Bin, the bold and loyal private entrepreneur Li Guosheng, the honest and capable official Chang Yuanshan, the slick and philistine director Bai Jinhu and his wife Bai Suzhen who has ulterior motives for "little fresh meat", and the simple and dedicated colleague Ren Yan...
When everything was settled, Mi Siqi held Wu Bing, who was seriously ill, and read to her word by word the love letters that spanned a long time in a forest house in the mountains. Those letters are the cry of his youth, the yearning in his middle age, and the fire of love that lasts throughout his life and has never been extinguished.
"Graduation" is not only an unforgettable love epic, but also a picture depicting social changes and human nature in the decades of reform and opening up. It is about the purest persistence and waiting, about friendship, desire, choice and redemption, and ultimately asks: When prosperity ends, what can penetrate the impermanent years and become the immortal echo of the soul?
