share time: 2026-09-11 09:15:57

Set in late 1990s Northeast China amid the wave of state-owned enterprise restructuring, young Chen Weidong, who was preparing for the art college entrance exam, dropped out after his father’s serious illness drained the family’s savings, and could only make a living by running a shoe-repair stall with his childhood sweetheart Li Mei. Rivals’ sabotage, losses from wrong purchases, and misunderstandings from family failed to douse his passion. With Li Mei’s silent company and his childhood stage dream, he seized the opportunity of trading goods from the south to start his business. Amid the changing era, he overcame entrepreneurial storms and guarded his true feelings with Li Mei, carving out his own path of dream-chasing, full of the flavor and passion of 1990s’ Northeast China.
