Director's Statement
This is a "happy" movie, a movie about a "working-class person" making a name for themselves. While big fish are big, small fish also have their space to survive. As long as you have strength, who says "small fish eating big fish" isn't possible! Every time I hear migrant workers who have drifted to big cities talk about their experiences, the eyes of those around them turn red. I feel that their stories don't require anyone's sympathy because they are strong enough. I want to tell a story about someone who "drifts" full of hopes, encounters setbacks, and finds self-identity and happiness, hoping to cheer them on! This title and story have been in my heart for decades (yes, that's correct). Today, the right time, place, and a correct producer have brought this film to fruition. It took two years to create and more than half a year to produce, and now it is ready to meet the audience.
