In 1986, young people like Gao Guang, Wu Yu, and Cheng Sihao... stepped out into society, with their sordid pasts of going astray.
It was a special era. In a forgotten corner of that time, a group of people lived through stories that could only have happened in that era.
No matter how sordid those years, those people, and those events were, they happened all the same, becoming a small symbol of that era.
That symbol became part of those people's youth, and even their entire lives. When we open those long-sealed memories, the past is too painful to revisit, but we must still remember it. Understand it through its era, and find peace with it through time!
All these stories come from life, and none of the characters stand alone. Together, they are a snapshot of a group of people left behind in the river of time.
Today, as we look back on those stories, may those who hear them be understanding, those who have passed find peace, and those yet to come take warning!
