In the summer of 2006, Wen Jingran, a young man from Guangdong, carried his luggage, boarded the train heading north alone, and entered the campus of Northern University. Speaking Mandarin with a Cantonese accent, he was ridiculed and ridiculed when he first joined the group. He joined the literary club with enthusiasm, but was ostracized and suppressed, and his literary heart had nowhere to go. Unwilling to sink, he simply founded a club from scratch, raised his own funds to publish a campus newspaper, and earned his own world in paper and ink.
In his green years, he secretly harbored a secret love for his classmate Lu Qinghe. His thoughts flowed freely at the tip of his pen, but he never expressed it to his mouth. Academic setbacks came one after another. Failure in the national examination almost ruined his studies. The road to postgraduate entrance examination also ended in failure. The young man's morale was repeatedly frustrated in the face of reality.
In the past five years, he has grown from an ignorant southern boy to an aspiring young man who has been polished by life but still sticks to his original intention. Along the way, several relationships are intertwined and entangled, love, hate, anger and infatuation all grow up, and ideals and reality collide repeatedly, eventually settling into a youth epic and life answer unique to the post-80s generation.
