<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, spatial settings: the sense of flow and openness of enclosed spaces</h1>
The closure and repetition of the space in this film is obvious, but the more closed the space, the more thoughts surge. The bus leaves the depot from dawn and travels through the city, where a variety of people gradually appear along the way. The role changes in the same space show full tension, and the trajectories of their respective lives are already different, and the imprints of the changes of the times are thus retained in the daily lives of ordinary people.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, historical memory: the style of old Beijing and elements of the new era. </h1>
The film's live-action shooting has become a historical image memory. On the one hand, the objective recording of the urban landscape and the copying of details of the living space. Spacious bus yards, cramped courtyards, and narrow alleys have become the scenery of the times that no longer appeared.
On the other hand, the elements of the new era also permeate the details of daily life, Chen Mingke, roaring cui Jian's "False Monk", which is the iconic singing method of that era, and these lifestyle changes and the radio and popular clothes he gave to Ai Hong together constitute the new era elements.

The morning sun awakens the city, change affects you and me, when the tide of social transformation gushes to everyone, or content with the status quo, or used for change, there is a realistic basis.
Zhang Nunxin mentioned in the director's elaboration: "Everyone's pursuit has its rationality, and everyone's attitude towards life should be understood." Everybody's suffering...
In the process of modernization, the ordinary people of Beijing City are gently presented in the director's empathy and sense of proportion, not exciting or heavy, only full of truth.
