The scene opens on a street in Hong Kong, where a man named Cang is looking for his brother, whom he has not seen for a long time. He has come to buy some soup, which he has made himself. Cang complains that he has been drinking too much, but his brother assures him that he will not regret it. The man then shows the man around his new apartment, where he lives with his wife and two children. He tells the man that the soup is very different from the soup sold on the street, because the ingredients are so complicated. He also tells him that his brother is very good to him, and that he looks so engrossed in his work
