That street is inhabited by homeless people, scavengers, dwarf children, fruit vendors, sanitation workers, idle people, taxi drivers, the daughter of the barber shop proprietress, the girl whose mother was killed because she went to the Shaolin Temple to see her twin brother. Men in spring, summer, autumn and winter, a family selling gas tanks, a little girl whose mother died in childbirth, an old woman who likes to raise cats, a middle-aged man who carries a birdcage every day, an old lady with mental problems who always yells and abuses at passers-by, a shoe repairman...
A street that seems to be filled with sadness and pitifulness is actually home to a group of innocent and simple people. It is isolated from the outside world like a paradise. Whenever Zaozao dreams back at midnight, this is the place where Zaozao must go back.
