Synopsis

Driving around Beijing in his little van named Happiness Express, young Fu-gui earns his living as a delivery-boy. He has to work around the clock to afford his father's expensive hospital treatments. When the old man's health further deteriorates, Fu-gui is forced to move him into his own apartment. Desperate for more money to help his father, he considers an advertisement soliciting human organs. He knows it is an illegal practice but resigns himself to contacting the organ traffickers. After the procedure, money is supposed to have been deposited into his account. But the account turns out to be empty. Devastated, he wanders around for several days before returning home. When he finally does, he finds his father has died.
