Wind Direction, a youth drama produced by China Central Television and streaming platform iQiyi among others, starts airing on CCTV-8, the television drama channel of CCTV, and iQiyi on Monday.

Starring actress Sun Qian and actor Zhai Zilu, the production portrays the stories of some middle-school students and their parents in their youth who work as oil workers. Through a reminiscent lens, it offers a nostalgic glimpse into their lives.

By telling the warm, happy, and constantly conflicting life stories of multiple families, it vividly portrays characters. Through their daily lives, growth experiences, and life changes, it attempts to present a collective memory and offer a panoramic view of youth that may strike a chord with the audience, says Fu Tuo, producer of the series.

The drama alternates between the stories of the current young generation and those of their parents in their youth, allowing more people to feel the traces left by youth, the power of youth, and the changes and growth that youth can bring to people, he adds.
