Set in the milieu of contemporary China, The Sighing Me crafts a narrative centered around a young individual who was born in the 90s. Devastated by mediocre income, burden of a loan for a house left incomplete by the real estate developer, and the diminish of dreams, the protagonist finally decides to leave the city where his hope once lay and return to his hometown in the countryside.
