Plot Summary:
Adapted from Jia Pingwa's eponymous novel "Happy", it tells the story of a man who has worked as a mason in his village, hung noodles, made tofu, and sold fried dough sticks, but never achieved success in any of these endeavors. In his fifties, he moves to the city to work as a laborer, collecting scrap and delivering coal in Xi'an.
This is the story of a scrap collector named Happy. The coolest part is when he pilots his homemade plane and finally flies over the sky of Xi'an, fulfilling his promise to his friend Wu Fu to be someone important for once. This is a joyful movie, a happy movie; a movie about living cleanly in a dirty place; a movie with laughter and tears, full of awkward humor—a familiar yet strange type of domestic musical film that has made a comeback.
