How to Fly

On New Year's Eve in Macau in 1999, He Yixiang (played by Deng Jiale), who had just graduated from university, was eager to leave this small town and go to Taiwan to pursue his dream of teaching art. At that time, his mother (played by Li Lezhi) chose to work in Taiwan for a long time to support the family because his father (played by Qin Xianwei) insisted on his Cantonese opera dream, which made him feel abandoned since he was a child. But when his girlfriend Cheng Mei (played by Tang Jiaxin), whom he regarded as a close relative, told him that Macau was her home, he had no choice but to stay and teach art. Yixiang's straightforward and passionate teaching style almost caused him to lose his job. Frustrated, he vowed not to repeat his parents' mistakes and to earn enough money to buy a house for Chengmei and his children. He resigned and went to work as a dealer in a casino, working hard until Cheng Mei left, and then he had a sudden awakening - the more he tried to protect his family, the more alienated he became from his family.
