PLOT
High-school repeater Liu Lang is falsely accused of cheating days before the gaokao. To spare his cash-strapped family he quits school and, with two buddies, heads to Guangdong to hustle for wages. The trio tumble through comic scams, end up rescuing a girl from a local crime ring, and finally turn their street smarts into above-board success – a feel-good “small-guy wins” arc .
