Three young men with very different personalities. When they leave the big city to return to the thousand-year-old village of Yunnan, they each begin a crazy and dream journey.

This is a youth-comedy version of American Dreams in China (2013). Wei Jinbei, Peng Xiubing and Li Shaoqun are young men of very different personalities. One had tried many times to find success in e-commerce but had failed on every turn in a big city. The other is a village lad, with nothing on his mind but the chase for success. The third one is consumed by romantic visions of life, divorced entirely from reality. They had separately returned from the city to an antiquated town in Yunnan. Brought together by fate, they decided to launch an e-commerce business together. They might have stumbled upon a great idea, but the state-of-the-art nature of their technological pursuit puts them at odds with the fogeyish ways of the very traditional town. With resolve and sincerity, they managed to win over everyone, entering into the eventful journey of a tech startup, a journey at once earnest, vibrant and surreal!
