Liu Gengsheng, a down-and-out township hair salon owner, is forced to redeem himself after falling into debt after the death of his wife, Wang Yanhua. He stumbles into a bizarre vocational college, receives alternative training, and experiences absurd and touching growth stories with students of different personalities (old, weak, sick and disabled women). In a series of funny conflicts and tender moments, Liu Gengsheng gradually regains the courage and professional dignity of life, and finally stands on the stage of his dreams. This is a comedy full of humor, satire and inspirational characters.

Zuo Shouquan is the director of the morning paper in a north-eastern city. He has a daughter, Zuo Mingming, who lives with his ex-wife. The girl is neglecting her studies. She is not particularly interested in her education. Her father wants her to move and start working at his newspaper. Zuo Mingming won’t have it; she plays in a band and her only dream is to pursue a musical career in the south. Father versus daughter, north versus south – a deeply rooted conflict between different systems of values in a contemporary Chinese comedy.
