The story tells the inspirational story of Zhang Xiping, a blind man who lives in Mawang Village, Xixian New District, who overcame his physical defects, walked the streets and alleys to sell eggs for decades, adopted abandoned babies, supported the elderly, and became self-reliant.
Zhang Xiping was selected as the "2022 Chinese Filial Piety Figure", and his touching deeds have been featured in Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, Shaanxi Daily and other media many times. The story will focus on the protagonist Zhang Xiping's nearly 40-year career as an egg seller, showing Zhang Xiping's unfairness of fate, overcoming the challenges of darkness, obtaining inner light, winning the dignity of being born as a human being, incomparably cherishing friendship, and infinite yearning for love, etc., expressing a deep humanist spirit and humanitarian care.

The story takes place in Xi'an, and it is necessary to tell the story of Xi'an, reflect the characteristics of Xi'an, and integrate elements such as local dialects, local operas, and market culture on the basis of telling a good story. It is necessary to find out the appropriate genre and expression method of the film, so that this film produced in Shaanxi is original, vivid, vivid and expressive, and strives for excellence.
