Ma Xiaoji, owner of "Jiji Barber Shop" in the old alley, is a legendary barber known to neighbors as "only cutting for destined people" — he never provides home service, yet can solve customers' worries with a single snip. As the New Year approaches, a demolition notice hits the alley, and Ma suddenly breaks his rule to take a "special order": cutting the hair of his former master Zhou Fushun, who has been bedridden for ten years. It turns out that twenty years ago, in the Year of the Horse, Zhou gave up his chance to compete in Beijing to save the drowning Ma, leaving him with a leg disability; Ma's persistence in running the shop was to wait for his master to wake up and see the "shop they agreed on back then". The moment the scissors glide through the white hair, the comatose master suddenly holds his hand, and the neighbors gather around — they had secretly signed a petition to save the shop. Amidst the first firecracker of the Horse Year, the wooden sign of the barber shop is hung again, with the smiles of the master and apprentice reflected in the mirror, along with the warmth of the alley.
