In the summer of 2000, Lin Xiaoman, a fresh police academy graduate, is assigned to the Wutong Li old town police station and becomes the 'troublesome apprentice' of veteran officer Zhou Jianguo—Uncle Zhou always says he's 'too impulsive to handle the job.' But troubles keep arising in the neighborhood: laid-off workers protesting state-owned enterprise reform, Ah Tao, a tape-selling girl arguing with urban management at the station, and the sudden disappearance of Grandma Chen, an elderly resident living alone... Lin refuses to follow the 'old rules': he uses pagers to build a community contact network, helps workers secure community housekeeping jobs, and even stays up all night outside a video hall to catch bike thieves. When Millennium Eve fireworks burst over the old buildings, Zhou hands him a cup of hot ginger tea, Ah Tao holds the tapes she's saved for half a year and says 'For you,' and Lin suddenly understands: The so-called 'rise of the community cop' is just turning every neighbor's small matter into the warmest light of the era.
