Old Friends in Rivers

"Old Friend in the River" is a story about time. Time is the most ruthless screenwriter. It turns teenagers into middle-aged people, black hair into white hair, and "I waited for you for three years" into "let's be old friends." It doesn't apologize, it doesn't explain, it doesn't pause. But it also leaves traces - those words, those seals, those "good" words, those tears shed in the middle of the night. Zhang Shuangjing and Chu Jiangwei in the story are the epitome of the generation born in the early 1970s. They have experienced the idealism of the 1980s, the tide of the 1990s, the capital carnival and the anti-corruption storm of the new century. They have struggled, fought, loved, hated, gained and lost. They are neither heroes nor villains. They are just ordinary people, ordinary people trying to live the way they want in this big era.
