This is an affectionate documentary intertwining personal destiny and the tide of the times.
In high school, she was the dazzling school beauty, and I was the underachieving student that no one liked. To stand side by side with her, I embarked on a ten-year counterattack. From the college entrance examination to starting a business, all my struggles are engraved with her mark.
We were briefly separated due to "realistic rationality", and during the SARS panic, we confirmed that we could rely on each other in troubled times. We think that we can reach the other side of happiness by surviving the torrent of youth - studying, being in a different place, and being confused after graduation.
However, in the end, we did not lose to each other's feelings, nor to the trivialities of daily life, but to a deeper and more grand force - the torrent of the times. Under the economic tide, social changes and the survival pressure faced by a generation, personal love seems so small. We swam hard to reach each other, but in the end we couldn't swim upstream.
This is not only a story about a boy growing up for love, but also a microcosm of a generation. It's about love, dreams, and how we work hard and regret in the face of huge times.
Purpose: Using youthful love as an incision, it shows the emotional bonds and life microcosm of a generation under the economic wave and survival pressure.
