What is 24 City about? Toggle content

In the bustling city of Chengdu, China, a once-thriving state-owned factory is shut down and transformed into a luxury apartment complex. Against the backdrop of China's rapid economic growth, 24 City chronicles the lives of three generations, eight characters, as they navigate the complexities of their changing world. From old workers to factory executives and young up-and-comers, their stories intertwine to create a rich tapestry of the human experience. As the factory's industrial past gives way to a gleaming new future, 24 City poignantly captures the sentiment of time and place, while never losing sight of the people who call it home.
