A valuable and comprehensive analysis and combing of the life, culture and human sentiments of the current urban people.

Once, director Fang Liang was also a member of the southern factory. Talking about the original intention of the film, he said frankly: "I chose to escape from my hometown in the summer when the college entrance examination was over at the age of 18 and went to Shenzhen. I wanted to see the sea, but I was locked in the factory machinery jungle. On the assembly line, day after day, even during the daytime, it is rarely seen, let alone the sea. On the one hand, it is the closed factory environment in the south, on the other hand, the anxious and surging survival struggle and love of young people everywhere who come here to find a way out Desire the world, they are intertwined, and I try to use a sensitive and slender youth story to explore the life situation and emotional conflicts of a new generation of young workers under the economic changes in the retreat of the industrial wave made in China."
