After a dangerous swerve, the Toyota 86 was forced to the edge of a cliff. After a sharp turn, the car rolled down the cliff.
Several cars stopped, and after a few sarcastic remarks, the racers drove away with a smile. In the cramped and confined space, the racer lay dying, his blood staining his snow-white racing suit.
Beneath the helmet, a pair of scarlet eyes stared intently at the group photo displayed on the center console.
In the photo, a high school girl with a ponytail and a boy in a white shirt rest their heads on the shoulders of a race car driver, one on each side, and the three of them look at the camera with happy smiles on their faces.
"Huff... huff..."
The race car driver let out a heavy breath, his gloved hand, stained with blood, struggled to pull at the photo, but ultimately fell limply.
'boom--'
With a loud explosion, a ball of fire shot into the air.
The firelight reveals the young boy and girl in the photo; the girl is played by Jing Li, and the boy is played by a very handsome young actor.
The scene gradually pans back to the location where the photo was taken, and background music begins, with Jing Li's distinctive husky voice slowly rising with the music.
The three were having a picnic in the park. The race car driver's eyes were full of doting as he watched his daughter chasing and playing with the boy, and he smiled as he raised the film camera in his hand.
The boy pulled the girl's pigtails off, and the girl pouted and sulked. To coax her, the boy clumsily combed her hair. After the loose single ponytail was tied up, the girl finally showed a bright smile, punched the boy in the chest, and dragged him to the white bench to take pictures.
The music gradually faded, the camera clicked, and the image froze at that moment.
The story continues, and the scene cuts to the girl's home, where her piercing screams shatter the silence.
"Stop hitting me...stop hitting me..."
The black-clad men, who were there to collect debts, ransacked the house. They pinned the boy to the ground and beat him mercilessly. The boy was covered in injuries and cowered in a ball, trying his best to protect the girl in his arms.
A man emerged from the room; he was the same race car driver who had appeared during the race. He sneered and waved the bankbook in his hand. The men in black kicked the boy hard again before turning and leaving.
"I'm sorry... Brother Fei, sob sob... It's all gone... There's nothing left..."
The girl burst into tears, and tears of despair streamed down her face.
"Don't cry...I'm okay...Ah Li, everything will be alright...You still have me!"
With difficulty, the boy sat up from the ground, forced a smile, and pulled the girl into his arms.
"You're all I have... You're all I have... Brother Fei..."
The camera quietly pulls back, and the song begins again. The young boy and girl, orphaned at a young age, struggle to survive in a narrow space, their lives filled with hardship yet sweetness.
The boy dropped out of school and became a car mechanic to help the girl go to school. No matter how hard or difficult it was, the girl would always see the boy waiting at the school gate as soon as she left the school.
The boy taught the girl to smoke and drink. He even got into fights and caused trouble in bars for her. The two would also go for drives in the repair shop's car late at night, doing rebellious things that were appropriate for their age.
They went through spring, summer, autumn and winter together, and grew up together.
The music gradually stopped again, and the scene shifted to the lazy and sensual moment of a grown-up boy waking up.
The adult version of the teenager is played by Fei Mo.
Fei Mo sat up in bed, rubbed her messy hair, yawned widely, and smiled at the photo of a young woman in a racing suit holding a trophy in front of her on the bedside table. "Good morning, my whole world."
After getting out of bed, he went into the bathroom, took a shower, shaved in front of the mirror, changed into his khaki work clothes, started his motorcycle, and drove away.
