Three different stories of youth set in different cities of China.

The rigorous city life of China, while bustling and unforgiving, contains the everlasting memories of days past.

A plentiful bowl of noodles, the beauty of family and the trials of first love endure the inevitable flow of time, as three different characters explore the strength of bonds and the warmth of cherished memories. Within the disorder of the present world, witness these quaint stories recognize the comfort of the past, and attempt to revive the neglected flavors of youth.
