The film tells the story in Brother Daguang's memories - The unspoken love that lacks courage and the vitality of friends intertwined with fate. This inspires us to cherish the present, embrace the belief in the beauty of life, never forget the way back no matter how far we go, be a down-to-earth person, and face life bravely. The film wrapped up shooting in 2022. However, irreconcilable disputes later broke out between the director and the producer, bringing further progress on the project to a halt. In an interview, director Lou Ye stated that he only hopes Jackson Yee can be happy.
