Never

The action takes place in a typical Chinese town. “Son”, the main character, does not value the time he spends with his parents. Until one day, his father is killed in a car accident, and his mother is gravely injured and becomes a vegetable patient. A year had gone by, but the mother's therapy had not been improved. Medical bills and financial stress from being fired from work have driven him to the brink of bankruptcy.
The overall spirit of the film is twofold: The first is that the son wishes to raise his parents, but they are unwilling to wait for him, urging people to cherish and devote themselves to their parents and elders while they are still living. The other spiritual component is expressed in a word: hope. We must keep on going and striving to live, even if fate is unkind! Because there is still hope.
The drama's conclusion, which has been building up throughout the entire plot, focuses on a song that the main character composed with all his heart. This is a very specific focus and feature of this film's artistic expression. Although the playwright's "son" served as inspiration for this song, it transcends his existence. It is filled with people's desire and expectation for affection, genuine love, and all wonderful things, but it is also functionally loaded with the dramatic reversal that eventually transforms the fate of the dramatist, completing the vital task of generating the dramatic climax of the entire story. So, this song is not optional, but the entire movie's biological logic of the main structure is. It is the most essential portion that serves to boost the drama's conclusion.
The other authors and I spent a month before and after the film, overturning several drafts of the lyrics and music program and investing enormous effort to eventually complete the production of the theme song.
Because of the length of a short film, it is unusual for one to spend its creative energy on writing its lyrical theme tune. This is what distinguishes this short film from all others.
