A phone call across twenty years breaks the dull small-town life of Li Yang. On the other side of the screen is his future self, who has spent half his life in destitution and full of regrets, rushing towards him with countless unoccurred opportunities and warnings. Foreseeing the hidden worries of industrial decline and the warmth or coldness of human relationships, he grasps a unique first-mover advantage of the era, decisively abandoning the stable foundation seen by others, and plunging into a track that no one is optimistic about. Former friends and relatives coldly distance themselves one after another, but a new benefactor unexpectedly steps into the light. The road ahead hides infinite possibilities of soaring land prices and industry resurgence, but hidden obstacles are layered upon layered; can he break free from the established tragic trajectory and avoid all future regrets?
