Chen Yuan is an extremely ordinary delivery boy. After graduating from college, he was rejected by his girlfriend Su Wan's parents because he could not afford the 200,000 yuan gift and the down payment for a house. Su Wan cried and said "I don't want this", but Chen Yuan said "Give me five years".
Five years, more than 1,800 days and nights. He has slept in partitioned rooms in urban villages, smashed three electric cars, got lost in heavy rain, and been scolded and cried in the middle of the night. He deposited the money earned from each order into a card, and the password was Su Wan's birthday. Every order is made of bricks, built piece by piece to look like a home.
The wedding is scheduled for December 18th. That morning, Chen Yuan could have slept in, but five years of habit made him ride an electric bike anyway - he took the last order and delivered a pot of soup to the Municipal People's Hospital.
There is an old man living alone in the ward. The old man's son hadn't been home for five years, and he ordered that bowl of soup for himself. Chen Yuan sat down and drank half a bowl of soup with the old man, and casually said, "I'm getting married today." The old man took out a faded red envelope from under the pillow, and inside was a passbook worth 200,000 yuan.
"I didn't catch up with my son's wedding, so you should accept this red envelope for your brother."
Chen Yuan knelt down, kowtowed, and then rushed into the heavy rain. The suit was still hanging in the rental house, and he was running down the street in his takeout clothes - not for money, but for the girl who had been waiting for him for five years.
This is a story about commitment, kindness and running. The biggest red envelope is never money, but the warmth between strangers, the love that a father cannot express, and the light that belongs to ordinary people that a deliveryman spent five years running out of.
