In 2006, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam led to the demolition of buildings and the relocation of more than one million residents along the Yangtze River. In 2022, the year of the Corona Disaster, when remarkable economic development was achieved and even local cities became urbanized.... Chao visits Fengjie in search of his girlfriend Binh, who has not returned after leaving Datong in Shanxi Province, and Binh visits Zhuhai, a special economic zone adjacent to Macau, in search of work. Time passes, and the two go back to Datong. Where will Chao end up after 22 years of traveling in the 21st century? After 22 years, a city without jobs, with unpaved roads, and suffering from the disparity with Beijing, is now lined with buildings, globalized, and young people enjoying the same entertainment as in cities around the world. The two-fold cell phone has become a smart phone, the AI robot that was once the world of science fiction is now serving customers in supermarkets and talking to lonely women, and so on. Things that break, things that disappear, and things that are built again. Encounters and partings are repeated as we are swallowed up by the ever-changing city. Time does not return. Therefore, we move forward. Special features include a theatrical trailer.
