About Hero of the Year
Four close friends—Tan Ailin, Li Minglang, Mao Na, and Tao Chun—navigate their own love and relationship challenges. From Tan Ailin’s struggle with a reluctant partner to Li Minglang’s compromises for younger men, Mao Na’s transition from casual relationships to marriage, and Tao Chun’s pursuit of family life, they support each other in their search for happiness and fulfillment.
Directed by Qiang Li, Hero of the Year leans on a strong ensemble — Jiang Wenli, Na Ying, Liang Jing — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2004.
