While on a train, Ren-pu and his father check whether the money inside each red envelope matches their list of designated names. They are returning to their hometown to worship the ancestors and look for relatives. On the list there is one name with a considerable amount of money but no indication of a relationship. Later, Ren-pu is surprised that his father cries out when worshiping the ancestors. Subsequently, when seeking out the relatives, Ren-pu finally realizes the reason his mother was reluctant to come with them.
The movie cleverly combines together two trips from separate medium length novels bringing together and revealing the accidental and unfamiliar images of Ren-pu’s father and mother. The interweaving of three flashbacks and three scenes on modern forms of transportation add a further sarcastic contrast.
