A Promise Is A Promise

The film centers around the students of the 1993 class of the Fruit Tree Department at Hebei Agricultural University. After the death of their classmate, Li Baoyang, the students make a promise to look after his parents, demonstrating the bond of love that transcends blood relations. This promise is more than a commitment; it represents the spirit of treating others' elders as one's own.

The narrative is further enriched by a bet between Liu Qu’er, a hardened individual, and a village chief who believes in kindness. Liu Qu’er's journey of transformation through this experience is underscored by the poignant moment when he sings about the value of promises. This story not only honors Li Baoyang's memory but also serves as a testament to the power of compassion and community. It resonates with those who appreciate narratives of human connection and moral commitment.
