On July 1, 2025, the teachers and students of the Class of 1985 at Taoyuan Middle School in Rugao, Jiangsu, gathered for a reunion. The handsome boys and beautiful girls who had been fifteen or sixteen back then were now all men and women over fifty! The classmates reminisced about the past, overwhelmed with emotion.
Forty years had passed in the blink of an eye! Many classmates had become social elites and leaders in their fields. Others had grown fabulously wealthy, spending money like water like gods of fortune. Through their own hard work and struggle, they had risen from humble beginnings to lives of wealth and privilege.
But it must be said that some classmates had failed to change their fate, and some had even paid with their lives. Their lessons give us much to reflect on.
This book is full of inspiring themes. Its true-to-life story and witty language will resonate deeply with readers who have been through similar experiences, while offering plenty of inspiration to young people who feel lost about the future.
