Live Up to Your Youth

In 1990s Beijing, a small guesthouse becomes home to a group of young dreamers chasing art and ambition. Xu Sheng Li struggles to break through as a screenwriter, Zhuang Zhuang sings at commercial gigs while yearning for bigger stages, and Shen Ran Ran navigates the uncertainty of acting opportunities. Saxophonist Tao Liang Liang plays under overpasses, Guo Zong Bao juggles odd jobs to support his family while working as an extra, and painter Cao Ye, full of avant-garde ideas, longs to be understood. Through rejection, sacrifice, and fleeting triumphs, they face the harsh realities of survival while never letting go of their artistic spark. As they step into a new millennium, some persevere and others let go, but each leaves their mark on a changing era.
