After COVID-19

Best Drama
Synopsis
After COVID-19, once-successful businessman Li Sheng, like many entrepreneurs, fell into difficulties and became debt-ridden. He reunited with his old classmate Sun Xiaoping at a café in Nanjing. What began as a gathering reminiscing about old times soon shifted through the weight of harsh realities, the regrets of youth, and emotional debts. Li Sheng started by trying hard to conceal his own difficult circumstances, but in the end, he laid bare his predicament and the steep price he had paid for success. Knowing the situation all along, Sun Xiaoping unhesitatingly contributed all his savings. He infused this money with a meaning that transcended mere monetary value—it became a symbol of profound understanding, unconditional support, and a firm belief that “hard workers deserve second chances”. This story reflects the most precious emotional bonds among ordinary people in the post-COVID-19 era: amid profound uncertainty, it is trust, empathy, and spiritual support between individuals that serve as the core strength helping us navigate through the challenges and reclaim hope.
