A Lifelong Journey

A Lifelong Journey, adapted from an award-winning novel with the same name by writer Liang Xiaosheng, was a real hit at the beginning of 2022. This 58-episode TV drama tells the story of a working-class family in northern China. Many scenes and old items help to recreate the past, making the drama a trip down memory lane for audiences.

With the characters' personal ups and downs, this TV drama also reviews some of the country's development and changes over the course of 50 years, such as the resumption of the gaokao (the national college entrance exam) in 1977, reform and opening-up in 1978.

No matter if it's an elder audience or younger generations, all can find some resonance in this TV series from the vivid characters and their performances.
