    《A tomorrow》 is based on director He Qin's (Beijing) personal story. The story is about a father who got sick but does not want to stay in the hospital. He goes back to continue selling watermelons to earn money. His daughter lies to him, telling that she got admitted a scholarship and that she'll be giving him the money to use it for the hospital fees. While instead, she's working long days, trying to earn the money with selling roses outside on the streets. The unfortunate happens: her dad diseases because he couldn't get a timely treatment.
