Synopsis
In the early 1990s, in the small coastal town of Fucheng in southeastern China, a group of young people chasing their youth on the train of the times, they were passionate and reckless, growing wildly with abandon.
They underwent a transformation, seeking the extraordinary in the ordinary, amidst the pursuit of the stars and the sea. In the most vibrant and radiant era of youth, they strived to embrace their glorious years and harvested growth and love.
By crafting a narrative of "undefining youth," this story from the 1990s serves as a bridge to facilitate communication with the present-day "Z generation."
