Unable to reach Lianhua Town, Xiaoqing stumbles upon the frame of a car buried under silt four years ago. Then a wild idea strikes him: restore the car and drive there. Meanwhile, Dapang, eager for a tasty treat, and Gezi, who needs to deliver a letter for his grandma, also need to head to Lianhua Town. They strike an agreement with Xiaoqing. Zhang Zhigao, a volunteer teacher concerned about the children’s education, joins the team to rebuild the car. And so begins this pursuit of a dream.
