I Worked in Guangdong During Those Years and Also Started a Family in Guangdong.

A history of personal struggle and a footnote to the times of a generation. 2018, Guangzhou. Chen Yue, a girl born in the 1990s, is determined to buy a house with her local boyfriend, but she is strongly opposed by her father Chen Jianguo. The fierce collision between the identity anxiety of "outsiders" and intergenerational concepts pushes this seemingly successful immigrant family to the edge of the storm. After a dispute, Chen Yue opened the old wooden box collected by his mother, and a stack of yellowed train tickets to Guangdong in 1998 slipped quietly... Traveling through twenty years. When the historical picture was fully unfolded, Chen Yue truly understood that the weight of "home" was far more than a house could measure. It was a great creation jointly completed by two generations in the hot land of the South through wandering, perseverance and love. This is not only a story about working and starting a family, but also a story about understanding, inheritance and reconciliation. It tells us that all today's roots stem from yesterday's unknown wanderings.
