Introduction
Ai Ni (played by Guan Zhilin) was born beautiful when she was young, with her hair fluttering in the air, she is the dream lover of many men. A sloppy marriage made her fall into mediocrity, and she was far away from glory and wealth. But the vulgar fans around her, with the help of the times, rose one by one, becoming domineering and domineering.
Lost but helpless, Ai Ni has no choice but to enjoy the delicacy of life by “doing hair”, indulging in the glory of the past, and forming a loveless and rather ambiguous dependence relationship with the young barber A Hua (played by Huo Jianhua). Ai Ni hopes that this state will not change again. Her self-esteem and her balanced mentality are maintained on this poor desire.
However, the change came, like a thunderstorm, with a rumbling sound, it came quickly and unexpectedly. First, the state-owned barber shop faced closure, and then the publicity and provocations of a group of fashionable girls such as Lulu (played by Yang Lu), made Ai Ni feel disappointed and confused.
The mediocrity and boredom of the family and her husband (played by Wu Zhenyu) make Ai Ni even more unbearable in this rapidly changing era. In desperation, Ai Ni finally plucked up the courage and decided to break through the shackles of years of ordinary life. She wanted to “leave out of the wall” regardless and be with Ah Hua.
However, at this juncture, Ah Hua is attracted by a “fashionable cool girl” Anvia, and secretly accepts her invitation to run a trendy hair salon. Aini was unwilling but helpless.
Feeling guilty, Ah Hua promises to wash Ai Ni’s hair one last time on the night when the barber shop closes down. On this sad night, the two opened their hearts, and Ai Ni had a deeper understanding of A Hua: it turned out that this young barber, who was favored by women on the surface, had a lot of unspeakable pain in his heart. She finally understood: the splendor and wealth of material life is like a fleeting cloud, and only the closeness and integration of heart and heart can be the truly precious realm of life.
