Features: Through the life trajectories of young people from the coastal areas of Guangdong, such as Ma Chicheng, Yang Yanfang, Wu Jintang, and Wang Taotao, as well as the various "New Hakka" stories surrounding them, the work vividly recreates the authentic life in a rural town in southern China at the end of the 20th century, and its great historical process of industrialization, urbanization, and modernization. It weaves a long scroll depicting a vivid and regionally distinctive modern version of the "River Scene at Qingming Festival."
