Director‘s Statement:
While browsing Douyin, I stumbled upon a video about "Brother Wang," revealing marginalized groups thriving beneath the metropolis's glamour. Their identities epitomize our era: empowered by livestreaming and influencer economies, traditional "unemployed drifters" have transformed into "digital-age nomads." These individuals chase the illusion of boarding the era's express train, viewing online visibility as a shortcut to upward mobility.
