The story takes place in a soon-to-be-abandoned southern heavy industrial city, where Shuiqing was abandoned by her mother Qu Ting as a child and longed for a sense of belonging.

The family of origin becomes one of the main issues discussed in the film. In real life, there are many children like Shuiqing who lack the love of their families of origin.
