Chen Weixi | Xu WeiChao | | | |

Synopsis

Shen Wei’s life is changed completely after he became famous. He became a mentor of his fans and return to social life. His fans organize and financially support him touring around the whole country to give lectures on traditional Chinese culture with livestreaming. This has become the main part of Shen’s daily life, but he found himself very confused at all these. He is used to a solitary life and has no idea how to cope with the overwhelming ‘love’ from his fans. But now he must face the issues in his old life. Virtual world is a dangerous place, but Shen didn’t back down. For his whole life he never had a voice in this world: a controlling father in the childhood, a life in asylum and on the streets after growing up. After mobile videos made him a celebrity, he finally has the chance to share his spiritual world with others. However, when this razzle-dazzle ceases, he still has to confront the problems head-on.
