He regains an understanding of where he stands in society and re-acknowledges his pursuits in life.
What makes "Tunes of the post-80's" unique is that sound technicians participated in the filming of the movie for the first time in China.

The mixture of the two, along with some magic sprinkled by the technicians, gave rise to great music that complimented the storyline and changed with its pace and atmosphere. This unveiled a new objective phenomenon that most of us miss out today to draw viewers deeper into the story. Such an attempt has never been made in China.
