Zhao Qi was an ordinary beggar in Shu City. When he died of cold and hunger, he opened his eyes and became a baby in the 21st century. From then on, he dragged his ancient soul into a torrent called "modern life": he became literate at the age of three, and studied hard for twenty years in a cold window, in exchange for "996" in the writing grid day after day. He once thought that if he worked hard in this life, modernity would be heaven, but he found that behind the glamorous appearance of the people here, they were losing their freedom in exchange for more time, and using their health in exchange for money, just to get the "food and clothing" he once longed for. When two extreme periods of life collide violently, a question arises: In which era is the true inability to control oneself?
Although freedom once was barren, today's "wealth" is like a prison. Standing at a busy intersection, Zhao Qi clenched the meager salary in his hand and began to miss the corner where he could bask in the sun and sing the song "Lotus Blossoms Falling".
He wanted to go back, but even if he went back, he would still be a beggar.
