A coming-of-age story about Yuen Loi, from age 6 to 40 something, who always tries to find his own freedom. Believing that the past, the present and the future all exist at one time, he continues his life cycle as an outsider. Inspired by the eternal return in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, life cycle is a complex process with "I" as the combination of one’s past, present and future. Unless one could free oneself from the past and detach one from the environment, one could only repeat one’s daily races eternally.
