Un déjeuner de famille en Chine. Le grand-père demande à son petit-fils, qui s’apprête à partir étudier en Russie, de lui montrer son film et de lui resservir un peu d’eau-de-vie. La mélancolie des adieux flotte dans l’air.

In the early 1990s, Xiaolei, who lives in a small village in western China, longs for a summer holiday without homework after he graduated from primary school. However, it is filled with boring routine, and Xiaolei feels the anxiety around him. When his father has left, Xiaolei realises that his life is completely changed.

In my memory, every time a child in the north was sick and feverish, as long as he could eat canned yellow peaches, he would immediately feel relaxed. Xiaolei and Daliao, who used wine to pour their sorrows, accidentally bought canned yellow peaches in a small shop. If there is a seemingly unsatisfactory melancholy permeated between the cups and cups, different life stories will also flow in the singing of the bar orchestra. Everything that happened this night was like a dream, with a panoramic view of the city in front of me.
