The Chinese drama Our Generation wrapped up its first season on July 25-26, 2025, delivering a satisfying conclusion to the emotional journey of childhood friends Lin Qi Le and Jiang Qiao Xi. After years of separation, misunderstandings, and personal struggles, the two finally reunite and find happiness together. Fans are now wondering if the story will continue with a second season.
How Our Generation Ended for Lin Qi Le and Jiang Qiao Xi
The final episodes (22-24) showed Lin Qi Le traveling to Hong Kong to search for Jiang Qiao Xi after he cut off all communication with her. He had left university and was working a low-paying job, overwhelmed by family pressures and academic stress. When Lin Qi Le collapsed from exhaustion outside his home, he took her to the hospital.
After she recovered, they didn’t discuss their past conflicts. Instead, they silently embraced, reconnecting without words. Jiang Qiao Xi realized how much Lin Qi Le had suffered to find him and decided not to push her away again. They returned to their hometown in the mountains, rekindled their bond, and officially became a couple.
“They spent the time silently embracing each other, cherishing the time they had lost over the years.”
Their story ended with them rebuilding their lives together, surrounded by friends and family. The emotional payoff was well-received by fans who had followed their journey from childhood.
The Challenges They Faced Before Reuniting
Lin Qi Le and Jiang Qiao Xi first met as kids in the mountains at a construction site. Despite their deep connection, Jiang Qiao Xi struggled with his role as a “replacement child” for his late older brother. His parents were emotionally distant, and his mother was controlling, pushing him to live up to his brother’s legacy.
When he moved to the city for studies, he grew distant from Lin Qi Le, eventually cutting contact to shield her from his struggles. However, his silence only made her more worried. She never stopped trying to reach him, even when others told her to move on.
“Qin Yeyun told Lin Qile to stop contacting Jiang Qiaoxi, saying it was ‘none of your business’ and that she should ‘just live your life.’”
Lin Qi Le’s determination to find him, despite collapsing from exhaustion, ultimately brought them back together.
Will There Be a Season 2 of Our Generation?
As of now, there is no official confirmation of a second season. The main love story between Lin Qi Le and Jiang Qiao Xi has been resolved, making a continuation unlikely. However, if renewed, Season 2 could explore:
- Their adult lives and careers
- New challenges in their relationship
- The lives of their friends from Qunshan
The show is available for streaming on Netflix, Viki, and Viu, allowing fans to revisit the story anytime.
Fan Reactions to the Ending
Many viewers expressed emotional satisfaction with the finale. Some called it a perfect conclusion, while others hoped for more scenes of the couple’s future.
“Their journey of 30 years will tear you up, & their happy ending will make you immensely happy & content.”
The drama’s portrayal of friendship, love, and personal growth resonated with audiences, especially those who grew up in the early 2000s.
