There is an interesting review of the movie at:
It goes like:
“If you want to understand what Chinese high school was like, then you should watch this movie,” my best friend told me. The movie is about a group of high school kids navigating school, life and falling in love. It’s a pretty typical story, slacker boy meets high achieving girl. They hate each other at first, but he saves her one day from humiliation in class (and takes the punishment himself) and afterwards she takes him on as a project, insisting he work harder and study more. Of course the two fall in love, but then life, and emotions, gets in the way. The movie ends several years after college and has, not quite a happy ending, but a happy-ish ending.”
