Nansheng and Li Hong, a couple shaped by the Cultural Revolution, sacrifice family unity for a better life overseas. Li Hong faces immense pressure abroad, while Nansheng remains unaware, believing life abroad is preferable. When he loses contact with her, Nansheng illegally enters the U.S. to find his wife. Aided by Jane, an “ABC” teen, he tracks down Li Hong’s acquaintances but struggles with cultural differences and disillusionment. In desperation, he even becomes involved in prostitution to fund his search. Eventually reunited, they face an even harsher fate.
