Stuck in a dreary industry town of northeastern China, troubled 21-year-old Li finally gets the chance to step out and see the world when a disabled man asks her to help him carry a painting to Shenzhen, far south near Hong Kong. Although she loses trust in men’s thin promises, Li refuses to go home and faces a hard life in Shenzhen. Jenny will encounter Li on a street corner in Shenzhen. Jenny is in the midst of a divorce. For no apparent reason, she has Chosen to leave the Hong Kong life she had always dreamed of and struggling so long to attain.
