Synopsis and Plot Summary

A story about the 'little people' follows a group of youths residing in a Beijing Hutong and how they grow and evolve through decades of life experiences.

In 1978, Chen Wa'er (Wang Xiaochen), Wu Xikai (Zheng Lu) and their other childhood friends all entered the gaokao exam rooms. When the results were announced, Chen Wa'er and Hu Meihua (Su Qing) failed to make the cut while Li Qiang (Li Chen) is admitted to an accounting school.

As their paths diverge, life widens the gap between the friends. Li Qiang finds a pot of gold as he enters the financial markets and eventually marries Chen Wa'er. Alas, his ego gets the best of him and he abandons his wife and son. Chen Wa'er is unfazed by the repeated blows in her life and becomes the founder of a well-known enterprise. Hu Meihua who left for the United States returns as a banker. Looking back, everyone first assembled at the same starting line but when shots were fired, each began to run the marathon towards their respective goals.
