Winner of the Mao Dun Prize
Wang Daifu and his girlfriend Xiao Kong were both born blind. Dreaming of a better life, he invests heavily in the stock market so they can set up their own Tui Na house, but when the market crashes, they are forced to join the Tui Na house of Wang’s old friend Sha Fuming. With a keen eye for the sorrows and small triumphs of their humble daily lives, Bi Feiyu focuses on the intricate relationships and power struggles between those who are born blind, those who lost their sight, and those who can see.
