Based on the novel of the same name by the famous writer Wang Meng, this film describes the early days of the founding of China and shows the mental outlook of the students in Beijing No.7 Middle School in the 1950s. Like other girls in the world, they face the same growth challenges, but they must also face a new era of liberation. Filmmakers got rid of the shackles of revolutionary propaganda and gained the right to express their themes freely. The depiction of youth evokes people's nostalgia for the innocent age in the early stage of modernization.
