Taking Wannabe County as the background, it tells the story of Zheng Ziqiang, who was born in the urban-rural fringe, Xu Zhiyuan, who lives in the county, and Liu Gen, who lives in the countryside. These three new generations in the 1980s have been constantly striving for a happy life for 30 years from the early days of reform and opening up to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In the early 1980s, influenced by the country's policy of "opening up employment opportunities", Zheng Ziqiang moved his family to the city to sell breakfast; because of the policy of "reducing talents in an eclectic way", it gave him a chance to make a comeback! It also made him the first generation insurance agent and witnessed the glory of the insurance industry.
Liu Gen is the epitome of the fraud industry. Because mobile phones have entered thousands of households, he was able to make money quickly through telecommunications fraud. He was also forced to switch to fund-raising fraud due to the "special campaign to crack down on the use of short messages and Internet fraud crimes" and was eventually arrested.
As a first-generation art student, Xu Zhiyuan is a representative of how knowledge changes destiny. At his most confused moment, the proposal of the "Chinese Dream" illuminated the way forward for him. Let him break away from the narrow pattern of focusing only on the trivial matters of the "small family" and being limited to "the education of his own children". With a more grand vision and pattern, he can deeply integrate the grand blueprint of the "Chinese Dream" with the profound connotation of "a strong youth will make the country strong", and decide to make running schools and educating people a lifelong career!
After thirty years, they have ridden the spring breeze of reform together and overcome the great waves of the times!
