[Youthful Campus Life] [Brotherhood and Loyalty] [Generational Feuds] [A Changing Era] In 2012, there was an unwritten rule outside the county's No. 2 High School: students handled problems on campus themselves, while their big brother dealt with trouble off campus.
Zhang Cong and Wang Lei only wanted to keep their heads down until graduation, but there were always people snitching and others waiting to block the gates. Their big brother stepped in to settle things, then announced he was done with the street life and planned to start a clothing factory, get into logistics, and build a real business. While their peers relied on their fathers and family connections, the boys learned something more valuable than throwing punches: another way to live.
Four young men stood by one another as they faced a difficult school administrator, threats from gangsters, and old grudges between their fathers, forging their own path step by step.
But the old rivalry over a love interest from their fathers' youth had yet to be settled. The fourth brother, still nowhere to be seen, and the rival who had grown from a lackey into a gang leader were already waiting in the shadows. The petty trouble outside the school gates might not seem worth mentioning, but they couldn't move on without facing it.
