Synopsis

Zhao, Tang, Liu, and Xu were four college students who had lost their jobs. Liu had joined the war effort to protect his nation, while Xu had lost hope and was on the brink of suicide until Zhao saved him. Tang was content with his job of decorating shop windows, and Zhao worked as a proofreader at a newspaper office. One day, when a ruffian tried to harass Miss Yang, Zhao and Tang chased him away, and Miss Yang fell in love with Zhao. Unfortunately, the factory Miss Yang worked at closed down, leaving her unemployed. She left a note for Zhao, intending to leave, not wanting to burden him, but Zhao had been fired as well. Her friend called her back, and they met Zhao and Tang in the crowd. They heard news of Xu's suicide and Liu fighting on the frontlines of the war, and the four of them walked forward together.
