1970S: the Wild Boy Next Door

In the alleys of Suzhou in the late 1970s, a well-behaved girl was doted on by the wild boy next door. The two of them went from the Jiangnan water town to Weiming Lakeside. In 1978, two families lived in an old alley in the family area of ​​Suzhou Cotton Mill. The Xu family comes from a scholarly family, and his father is a respected teacher. Daughter Xu Shuran has excellent academic performance, is well-behaved and sensible, and is the pride of the whole neighborhood. However, she is also a victim of her father's cowardice, filial piety, and her grandmother's patriarchal preference. She lives a depressed and suffocating life. The Ji family next door has a unique style of painting. His father is a rough guy who dares to venture and fight, and his mother is a refreshing person who protects his shortcomings. His son Ji Shulin is a well-known "devil incarnation". His grades are always at the bottom, but he is wild and unruly. In Xu Shuran's gloomy youth, Ji Shulin was like a raging wind, climbing over the wall, stuffing White Rabbit toffee into her hand, and pulling her out of the suffocating quagmire of her native family. Later, times changed dramatically, and Ji's parents followed the times and went south to Guangzhou to start a business. Ji Shulin also boarded the train to the south. Xu Shuran thought that their life trajectories had diverged. Until many years later, the wild boy who was decisive in the business world came back with a dazzling admission notice. "Xu Shuran, I worked hard to make money and stayed up late reading in Guangzhou just to have the confidence to stand in front of you." "Your brother went to Tsinghua University and I went to Peking University. We agreed to meet at the top." This is a story about childhood sweethearts in the alleys of Jiangnan, breaking free from the shackles of the times, running in both directions, and finally meeting at the top of Yanyuan in Beijing.
