Yang is a drifter from Henan who sells records on the street in Guangzhou and who dreams of becoming a pop singer. As he approaches 30, he has lost sight of his dreams and realizes that he will never make it as a pop star. He spends his days running away from security guards and city inspectors and chasing off competitors in order to make a living. His love life is a mess and day by day he grows more depressed and numb. His mood and life situation are unstable as he floats through existence. Finally, just as he turns 30, he is caught by city authorities and sent home.
