In 1977, the Cultural Revolution, which had disturbed the Chinese people for a full ten years, came to an end. People's lives have returned to normal. At this time when all industries are in need of recovery, the college entrance examination, which had been suspended for many years, has also been resumed. In a certain farm in Northeast China, there lives a group of educated youth from all directions and with diverse identities. They devoted their best years to this black soil, yet had no idea where their tomorrow lay. The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination reached here, once again stirring the hearts of the young people. Just then, the farm manager, Lao Chi (played by Sun Haiying), was brewing a road construction plan. Anyone who performed well during the construction would have the opportunity to be recommended to go to university. The educated youth were eager to take action for this, but Lao Chi, who had other plans, gave the opportunity to Chen Qiong (played by Zhou Xianxin), a girl with a bad background. It turned out that Chen Qiong and Lao Chi's favorite general, Pan Zhiyou (played by Wang Xuebing), were a couple. He intended to use this opportunity to break them up and make Pan take root here. However, will the young people full of ideals seize this rare opportunity tightly or go with the flow and accept the arrangement of fate?[Collapse]
