With the development of information in the early 1990s, two IT guys started out secretly making Chinese character cards. They catch the attention of the director of the computer science institute and go on to become a major force in the industry.

Xiao Wen (Leo Wu) and Pei Qinghua (Neo Hou) are students at the Institute of Computer Science of Yenching University.
