This film tells the complex experience of "studying abroad" in the context of the commodification of transnational education.
As a “one-year passers-by”, the director elaborated on the embarrassing situation of today's international students wandering between “marginal people” and “internationals”. 
How to gain something in the British education system that is dominated by economic efficiency?
Is it true that almost everyone today acquiesces that the meaning of transnational education is not pure knowledge acquisition, but that the life experience and cross-cultural exchanges it comes with are the most valuable things we pay for?
Is the "motherland" a solid spiritual fortress, or a shackle that restricts people's lives abroad?
What is the boundary between “passers-by” and “marginal people” ?
How long will this "marginal" mentality stay with a person? Or is this going to be a label that will last a lifetime?  
How to penetrate this layer of "accumulation" to see the world from a wider height? Is it possible to bypass national identity and go directly to the essence of human beings?  Will there be people who naturally do not have obstacles to cultural identity and spiritual belonging?
This film attempts to arouse people’s re-examination of the transnational education system by depicting the real dilemma. The journey is translated through the dissection of personal experience, in an attempt to draw out the big, common issues in small narratives.
