O casal Liyun e Yaojun, trabalhadores de uma fábrica, vivem uma tragédia familiar devastadora nos tumultuosos anos entre a década de 1980 e o século XXI. Reprimidos pela lei nacional do filho único, suas vidas se transformam gradualmente sob o impacto da mudança de identidade na China.

Shot over the course of ten years on both film and video, the film consists of a series of carefully composed tableaux of people and environments. Pedestrians shuffle across a bustling Beijing street, steelworkers linger outside a deserted factory, tourists laugh and scamper across a crowded beach, worshippers kneel to pray in a remote village. With a painterly eye for composition, Wang captures China as he sees it, calling to a temporary halt a land in a constant state of change.
