Yu Dong is a native Beijing kid, and his memories of Beijing are closely linked to movies.

Although some people have expressed opinions to Yu Dong about this project, he is still willing to put aside the traffic to seriously polish his creation and complete a work with script film quality and higher social value.
"It is my responsibility to contribute to the capital's cultural industry."
