Second Season
Enter the mind of a Chinese son, "the golden child," as he struggles between traditional Confucian values and Western notions of individuality. When his cousin Li Yi visits him the night before his wedding, Xiao Zhong is faced with a series of life changing decisions that will affect his family, his relationships, and his future. Is he really free? Or is he just a goldfish stuck in a bowl?
