Day Tripper (2023): Cast

On a typical day in a northern Chinese city, residents confront everyday pressures. A middle‑aged worker watches his position given to a younger colleague, while his wife seeks a fresh start. High‑school students linger listlessly in the courtyard, and a young teacher strives to reform the rigid school system. A barbershop owner forces his staff onto the streets for customers, and a barbecue proprietor converts his eatery into a nightclub. As night falls, workers flock to the new venue, losing themselves in its dazzling illusion.
