Knowing nothing more than the working-class life he is born into, headstrong Lu Xiao Lu reluctantly starts down the path he is expected to follow. At age nineteen in 1990s China, he feels pressure to follow suit with those around him and takes a job at the town’s saccharin factory. Slowly, he adjusts to the bureaucratic factory routine, making the best of the situation by bonding with coworkers, flirting with girls, and refusing to give in completely to the expectations of those around him. As Lu Xiao Lu finds his way, a startling portrait of an economically expanding China comes into view; the propaganda of a common goal gives way to a bottom-line system that he sees as indifferent to individual happiness. But thanks to the relationships he develops, Lu Xiao Lu decides to fight for the life he wants. (Source: Goodreads) ~~ Adapted from the novel "Young Babylon" (少年巴比伦) by Lu Nei (路内). Edit Translation

Reviews
A Realistic Drama About Growing Up
This drama is not for those who were looking for a perfect and flawless ML. The ML grew up being loved by his parents and tolerated in the household. He is a reckless and opinionated character who will stand up for what he thinks is right. The character is realistic as for people like his age, they are hot-blooded. They will undergo numerous mistakes, embarrassing ones even. I would also like to add the friendship of the ML with his friends are amusing to watch, they did undergo trials too but the friendship still remains. The ML tried his best to be suitable for the FL despite his shortcomings. I like his persistence but just like we humans in reality, there are things that we need to give up for the people we love.Dissapointed by FL
I really annoyed by FL character at the end.In story, it depicts mostly how the Bi family exploits the working class in the factory.
Now the FL at the end of the became the same .
She is no different from the Bi family who exploits the working class.
She is new director maybe she can help people in the factory(from injustice) but ,
Its a irony "what's she was and she became in the end"
I really like the ML character .
He raise voice against the injustice , but his process is naive but cool.
He don't give a fuck to society, Bi family or anyone else.
Even after so much of hardship his character smells like the same.
