Synopsis

A Tang Dynasty minor official risks everything to deliver lychees across China. Li Shande, middle-aged and struggling, sees this dangerous mission as his last chance for success.
Moviegoers are saying
This Chinese period drama about a mathematician tasked with delivering fresh lychees across 5000 miles transforms from seemingly silly premise into a surprisingly profound meditation on power, exploitation, and sacrifice. Audiences are consistently caught off-guard by how this 'wacky fruit delivery story' evolves into a bitter commentary on bureaucracy and the human cost of serving the elite's whims.
