In the 1980s, Cheng Yihang, a young man from the northern countryside, stood on tiptoe, looking up at the city lights in the distance, with a desire to get rid of poverty and change his destiny buried in his heart; at the same time, Lu Wenzhao, from Jiangcheng in the south, was casually walking in the bluestone alleys, listening to the news coming from the alleyway radio, and was unconcerned about the future.
They grew up in different worlds. One tried his best to climb up, while the other drifted with the flow without caring about the future. It wasn't until college that their fates finally intersected. But the torrent of that era enveloped everything. Beliefs, class, family, and even the most private emotions were all crushed bit by bit by the sharp edge of reality.
From the early 1980s to 2010, the story spans decades, depicting a struggle from ignorant youth to the adult world. They met and knew each other, but they gave in step by step under the pressure of fate, and finally came to a helpless reality.
Intention: Helplessness and a sense of fate - some people are destined to be separated when they meet. Even if they have grasped hard, they can only watch each other go to their own destiny in the end.
