I this with a light heart with no expectations but finished crying at the last 2 episodes. A break from all the thriller, betrayal and even the lovey-dovey stories.

Childhood friendship
Chen Miaomiao, Li Si, Hu Qiumin, and Chen Yaya welcomed new friends in their lives but it didn't start on a good note. Even jealousy arises between friends but it shows that even a good hearted person can hold some inner insecurities and possesiveness from what was always constant in their lives. Also, all stupid ideas are best when done together, they are all so memorable until now!

Adult Friendship
The mothers showed how they got each others' back, would even beat up some guy when one of them get bullied, just one call and you are done for.

Marriage and Divorce
They were not sensitive in discussing this issue, even involving some insights from the children's perspectives. Divorce was somehow seen as a solution rather than a escape from each other.

Rankings
Their homeroom teacher, Mr. Gao, played an important role in building relationship between the parents and children. He enforced hiding their rankings in order to avoid comparison and humiliation for the students. As an adolescent, this is their most prideful immature stage. He wanted their home as a place for rest instead of a place they fear as soon as their grades are out.

Dreams, Goals, and Success
Somehow this seems relatable. Not having that big dream or goal in life, feeling useless and no point in life. But not everyone get to fulfill any of them. Maybe somehow at that point, Miaomiao was right. Maybe they were lucky that's why they don't have any dream. They were content in their life, happiness is common for them. It is not, for every one. It is also okay not to be successful, because there are common people we need in every day like the vendor selling fruits on the streets. Good and hardworking people are who we need.
