In 2001, in the northern Chinese city of Datong, a working class woman named Qiao Qiao (Tao Zhao) has a romantic relationship with her manager Guao Bin (Zhubin Li) as she hustles to make a living as a singer, model, and club girl. Guao Bin leaves Datong to try earning his living in another province, sending Qiao Qiao a text message that says he will bring her when he has money. After a stretch, Qiao Qiao decides to go looking for him, passing though communities which are being displaced by the Three Gorges Dam, as well as Guangdong Province. Meanwhile, Bin tries his hand at a number of businesses, including entering a shady business deal with a corrupt politician.
When Qiao Qiao finally finds Bin, she breaks up with him. They eventually re-unite in COVID-era China, after both have notably aged.
