Beijing 2008 plot

The year 2008 is followed entirely from the perspective of Ji, in his thirties, who lives in Beijing, the city where the Olympic Games will be held in August 2008. Ji smells his chance to get a slice around that sporting event. Full of optimism, Ji quits his job to pursue the new Chinese dream: business success. That turns out to be less easy than expected, but Ji is not discouraged. 2008 is a busy year for Ji: in addition to many business meetings, he wants to nurture his interest in Buddhism, he has to go on a diet to reduce his excess weight and he tries to give his wife enough attention. The latter does not work, because she leaves him.
