Those called "middle-aged old-timers," this group of people, are beginning to awaken and rebel. In the first half of their lives, they were busy dealing with societal discipline and expectations, following the established path of life step by step—work, family, responsibilities—all without missing a single one, but also lacking truly personal choices. And now, they are gradually loosening those constraints, trying to listen to their inner voices. They want to experience an authentic Chinese massage, get a tattoo of a once-unthinkable floral arm and leg; they want to get a motorcycle license, ride a motorcycle on the road and make a statement, racing freely against the wind; they also want to set up a teapot by the river, quietly fish, and pass the time. They begin to yearn for a spontaneous trip, start to want to enter a late-night bar and experience long-lost encounters; some simply want to go a little further, to see just how big this world really is. This is not a belated rebellion, but more like an awakening—after experiencing the heavy pressure and trials of life, they finally have the courage to live their days the way "they want."
