How far is the city in the countryside?    For families like Zhang Zhili and Yang Xiuqing, it is more than just a ticket, a journey. As urban immigrants, they can neither shed the soil from the countryside on their feet nor put on the glamorous coat of the city. On the fringe of the city and on the way back and forth between the city and the countryside, they are always looking forward to urban life and yearning for the recognition and acceptance of the mainstream society, but the actual situation is extremely embarrassing. Their children were born in the city as the second generation of urban immigrants. They received education and inherited all their dreams and hopes for granted. They even possessed the urban household registration that represents the city’s ID card. And can these really shorten the distance between the two homes? In the long journey of “changing cities”, how much do they have to go? Who is blocking between reality and dream, and who is opposing? The two families tossed and turned, should they go back to the countryside again, or stay in the city for the last time with their fate? Every choice is so difficult…
