When the film unfolds, Da Ming (He Zheng), who works in capitalism-oriented South as a businessman, returns to his family home in Beijing after being hinted that his elderly father (Zhu Xu) has passed away. Da Ming's father owns a traditional bathhouse which he runs with the help of his other son, mentally challenged Er Ming (Jiang Wu). Da Ming feels a little impatient after learning that his father is perfectly heathy. He immediately books a flight ticket and plans to go back. In the meantime, while his brother welcomes Da Ming lovingly, his father is remote and cold. Their separation is a result of different values, different life experience, and different generations.
