Like a Flowing River

During China's period of economic reform, three men strive to achieve success despite the challenges they face. Song Yun Hui is a highly intelligent individual who becomes a technician and establishes a strong foundation for his career. However, his progress is hindered by discrimination due to his humble background. Similarly, Lei Dong Bao comes from a poor rural background and lacks formal education, yet he rises to become a respected and well-liked leader. The third man, Yang Xun, is an aspiring entrepreneur who thrives by identifying and seizing business opportunities. As they navigate the difficulties of economic reform, the question remains whether these three men can ultimately achieve success.
