In the summer of 1998, five girls in the third (second) class of Jianghuai City No. 1 Middle School ushered in their last days before the college entrance examination.
Wang Yun was born beautiful, but came from a poor family. She dealt with boys and used her beauty to pave the way for herself - she knew too well that this was her only capital to leave the vegetable market. Sun Xuefang was the first in her grade. Her father's leg was broken and her mother's medicine jar was empty. She suppressed all her desires by reading. Lu Jing is as quiet as a plant. There are more than 300 letters written to the same boy locked in the drawer, which have never been sent. Li Na is public and enthusiastic, daring to love and hate, believing that love can fill all the holes in her heart. Chang Juxia was always the most decent person, smiling, passing tissues, breaking up fights, and smoothing things over, but she had a clear account in her heart.
They skipped classes, drank, and told the truth together, thinking that their youth would never end. Until Wang Yun intervened in Li Na's relationship, Chang Juxia spread rumors behind her back, Sun Xuefang said a hurtful word, and Lu Jing's world collapsed silently. The college entrance examination is like a knife, splitting their destiny into five parts - some stay behind, some travel far away, some get married, some wander, and some live their lives through calculations to become what they least want to be.
When they reunited by the river ten years later, they realized that the love and hate of those years were just a wave in the long river of time. And true growth is to keep moving forward with the wounds.
