Features: The cultural fate of tobacco, the journey of a man's growth. Being drunk with wine can be sobered up, but being drunk with tobacco is a floating state that is hard to shake off. Everyone can be drunk with wine, but not everyone has experienced being drunk with tobacco. The experience of being drunk with tobacco is a thought-provoking and profound memory for every man in the process of growing up! Life's tragedies and comedies, the ups and downs of emotions—only men who have been drunk with tobacco can understand the taste of it. Just like the relationship between cigarettes and people, paradoxes accompany everything men do. Paradoxes—life is full of paradoxes. Career and love are things that every man has pursued and lost. The story follows two men as they go through mutual observation, clashes in attitude and personality, misplaced love, struggles and reflections in their work, and the comings and goings of life. Against the backdrop of the fiery life of the complete marketization of planned economy in the tobacco industry reform, and in the realistic life scenes of Chengdu, a key city in the rapidly developing western region, the story portrays the social restlessness and changes from the 1990s to the early 21st century, as well as the relentless exploration of career, bold pursuit of love, and hard thinking about the humanistic ecological environment by the generation born in the 1970s.
