Soaring Over the Cliffs

Lin Fan was a standard member of the post-1980 generation. Unable to enter the establishment, he worked in planning and was married with children. The pressures and reliefs brought by his wife, children, money, house, and car alternated like the tightening and loosening of a magical headband, binding him tightly. Yet his pursuit of his ideals had never stopped. During a family vacation at the seaside, he discovered an unwanted cliff behind a small coastal village. His imagination running wild, he decided to transform this ordinary cliff, as unremarkable as himself, into a one-of-a-kind hotel. Carrying this almost insane dream, Lin Fan withstood his family's incomprehension and the mocking eyes of those around him, embarking on a nearly Don Quixote-like journey to make his dream come true. Starting with the lucky opportunity to appear on a television program, and then coming into contact with all kinds of people from across society, Lin Fan was determined to pour everything he had into this cliffside hotel. Could it really be built?

Through extensive inner monologues, this work delicately depicts the life of a typical member of the post-1980 generation who believes his talents have gone unrecognized and unused. It is sure to resonate with people of the same generation in this era.
