Chuxi Fish Balls
In a small village in North China, Jiashu and Maihua face the most difficult choice: should they stay with the old people who protect them like their parents, or should they go south to work in search of a chance of survival? Behind the promise to "take everyone back to live a good life after a while of hardship" are the unknown hardships of life in the south and the endless concern for the left-behind elderly. When the wave of modern life inevitably hits this peaceful village, how will they finally balance the call from the distance with the warmth around them? Should you run away resolutely, stay rooted and protect your family, or find a unique way to "return home"?
