A runaway girl Miyuki, a transgender Hana and a middle-aged uncle Lao Jin, three homeless people pick up an abandoned baby one night, and embark on the road to find parents for the abandoned baby Kiyoko. Along the way, their respective pasts are laid out little by little - after the police father abandoned his cat "Angel", Miyuki stabbed his father and ran away from home; Hana left her job due to a conflict with a guest The bar; old Jin Yuan is a cyclist who lost his wife and daughter because of fake races. According to the clues left in the locker, Hana, Lao Jin, and Miyuki traveled one place after another, were involved in bizarre incidents one after another, and took risks again and again, but they were lucky to escape each time.
Hana always likes to say, "Qingko is the messenger of God", so she often helps them out of danger. In fact, are these three homeless people not the messengers of God? Having a lovely baby is Hana's lifelong wish, she loves Kiyoko so much that she doesn't even care about her own safety. Lao Jin insisted on sending Qingzi to the police station, reluctantly joined the family search team, and finally chased the big truck for her without hesitation. Miyuki was still a child, but she was able to persuade a paranoid mother who wanted to commit suicide on the rooftop.
Although these three people live in no fixed place and wear sloppy clothes, their hearts are the purest. Lao Jin mocked Hana, but she did not discriminate against transgender people. Hana had never met her parents, she was helpless in this world, all she wanted was a little approval, but it was so out of reach. Just like Qingying in the story she told, she is so kind and selfless, she can leave alone and endure loneliness in order to make friends. Despite her stubbornness, Miyuki couldn't help calling her home when she saw the news that "the angel has returned home" in the newspaper, but she hung up the phone without saying a word, and kept saying, Weeping and apologizing.
In the end, Kiyoko returned to his parents. By accident, Miyuki met her father and Lao Jin met her daughter. In a future not told in the film, they must have returned to their families and lived happily ever after with occasional quarrels and contradictions.
So, what about Hana? My favorite character, I really hope she can say goodbye to loneliness and have family and friendship!
The music, painting, character setting, and script are all quite brilliant. Call for Jin Min!
