Introduction to "The Class of '68":

The TV series "Class 25 of Grade 2 in No. 86 Middle School" which reflects the life of middle school students from 1968 until the early 21st century will be renamed "The Class of '68" and will soon be broadcast on multiple television stations. The film is directed by Wang Xiaolie and stars Song Yuncheng, Yu Xiaowei, Yang Mingna, and others.

The original name of this TV series was "Accompanying You Like a Dream", then temporarily named "Class 25 of Grade 2 in No. 86 Middle School" during filming. Now, nearing its official market release, it has been renamed "The Class of '68" under expert advice. This name more accurately reflects the true content of the story.

Friends of the Class of '68, their children, and people from that era should pay close attention. There you will find your past, your classmates, your fellow townspeople, your happiness, your regrets, your dreams, and the place where those dreams were shattered...

The term "Class of '68" refers to high school graduates from 1966, 1967, and 1968. They responded to their leader's call to go to the countryside for re-education by the poor peasants, known as the "All Red" campaign or the "Educated Youth". Subsequent classes introduced various allocation methods such as factories, rural postings, suburban farms, semi-work semi-study, technical schools, nationwide recruitment, large collectives, small collectives, substitute training, waiting for allocation, etc. By 1976, the graduating class of that year was the last one. Later, in 1978, the educated youth began returning to the cities, and the older factory workers' children started taking over jobs en masse.

The Class of '68 emerged from that special era characterized by fervent living, political zeal, inner restlessness, and social upheaval. The young people who endured the trials of time have now become the backbone of their families, society, and the times; they have even become respected elders, grandfathers, and grandmothers.

The synonym for the Class of '68 is not what people have always imagined—"zealotry". The Class of '68 had enthusiasm and impulsiveness, resonating with the pulse of the times; back then, they only had public spirit and no selfishness; they only moved forward without fear of setbacks; they faced unimaginable difficulties with fearless courage. As history entered the 1980s, sailed into the 1990s, and rushed into the 21st century, people discovered that the "Class of '68", battered by the winds, snows, and frosts of time, still bloomed like flowers across every corner of the motherland.

The synonym for the Class of '68 is also not what people used to understand—"complaint". Their tears fell in the white mountains and black waters of Northeast China, their sweat soaked the land of Shandong and Lu, their blood dripped onto the undulating peaks of the Nanling Mountains. They were once surrounded by encouragement, inspiration, and even incitement; they only wanted the world to progress rapidly, to leave backwardness and poverty behind. When all was said and done, they faced obstruction, blame, ridicule, criticism, and difficulty. They harbored no resentment, no regret, enduring everything silently with shoulders laden with pain, issuing only a light sigh at the fleeting of youth...

The synonym for the Class of '68 is certainly not what newspapers casually described as "decadence". They once marched boldly towards life, full of vigor, pointing at the rivers and mountains, treating the princes of ten thousand households as dung, willing to melt the ice frozen for thousands of years with their own blood; life gave them hardships, societal reality struck them down, turning their passion into bubbles. At the time when they were least understood, they also suffered pain and confusion, questioning the heavens, but they did not sink into despair. When a new chapter of the times unfolded, they survived firmly like willows, poplars, white poplars, and cedars, standing tall again, becoming the pillars of society.

When history waded through that muddy water, when God forgave the impulsiveness of the young, when everything returned to a peaceful rhythm, the brilliance of the Class of '68 still shone like diamonds, impossible to hide. "Heaven imposes great tasks on someone by first exhausting their muscles and bones, starving their bodies, troubling their hearts, emptying their resources, and confusing their actions, so as to stir their hearts and toughen their natures, increasing their capabilities," thus we have today's Class of '68.

This group of people from the Class of '68 are those who would brave fire and water, sacrifice themselves for justice.

I hold great admiration for the Class of '68.
