Plot

Old Lin, a retired steel mill worker with limited mobility, leads a life that is comfortable in material terms but emotionally barren. His routine takes an unexpected turn when he meets Ma Teng, a wandering drifter full of "useless knowledge" and a tendency to abandon tasks midway, during a failed caregiver interview. What starts as a humorous series of misunderstandings blossoms into an extraordinary friendship. As they navigate their differences across generations and social backgrounds, these unlikely companions evolve from chaotic strangers to essential sources of support for one another. Their bond challenges the typical notions of age and mortality, serving as a powerful testament to human resilience. Together, they find the strength to face their physical limitations and the uncertainties of life with newfound courage.
