A gentle, reflective drama about middle-aged men navigating family and aging, with a warm, relatable tone.

Overview: Qi Hua, Wang Qi and Ke Long are childhood friends, although fast approaching their mid-fifties, they still kept the promise of cycling together to catch the sunrise on each other's birthday. Qi Hua is a doting husband and father who handles everything from household chores to bills. But that causes his wife and two children to be overly dependent on him. He becomes despondent with his family's neglect when he falls ill. What will he do to make them learn? Wang Qi is estranged from his son who blames the former for causing the death of his mother. Wang Qi may look unaffected but he has been secretly helping his son out whenever he can. Will his efforts win back his family? Ke Long is proud of his athletic body even at his age, but an injury makes him realizes that he cannot stay young forever, and his world starts to crumble. Does fifty really spells the end of a productive life? Or can these three friends press the restart button and turn their fifties into the new twenties?
