Their son quietly develops a house renovation plan for them; A few weeks later, the familiar life of the elderly collapsed completely. The film portrays the intense reaction of elderly people towards being forced into modern life, adding sighing footnotes to the disappearance of an era, and the meaningful long shot at the end is thought-provoking.

"Mei's Day and Night" tells the story of a Shanghai aunt who lives alone in a rental house in her seventies. After two failed marriages, she perseveres in finding a suitable spouse. This is the second work directed by Luo Dong, which features a full dialogue in Shanghai dialect, with a dual tone approach that focuses on the aunt's housing issues and multiple absurd blind dates. It humorously records the elderly life of the "social treasure trove" of Shanghai's elderly population, such as dance halls, chess and card rooms, and parks, showcasing the other side behind the bustling metropolis.
