Rich girls are still so hard, ordinary people have to work harder

The film mainly revolves around the stories of four female students, bety, John, kanni, liwei, and female teacher Katherine. The four girls bravely chose what they wanted to do and the person they loved.

Betty, finally left an unhappy marriage and gave up a superior and enviable life to pursue studies and pursue what she wanted to do.

Joan, it's not cowardly to choose the latter between career and family, she just chose what she loves more, everyone's definition of happiness is different, but as an audience, it's a pity, why can't you have both?

Connie, my favorite character, likes her heartbreaking when she finds out that she has misunderstood her boyfriend and finds out that she has lost her boyfriend, and likes her rushing to the boys' dormitory to confess and recover her happiness.

Grave, wild and uninhibited on the outside, very kind on the inside, really touched me when she hugged Betty.

In fact, this is a story about women's choices, but you found out that the four girls in the film are all well-educated, wealthy young ladies with superior family backgrounds, money and ability. They have the opportunity to choose, but what about ordinary people?

Ordinary girls, even if they have what they want to do, they still have a lot of constraints - funds, education... They have to work harder, no choice but to! Had to!
