Story:
Yao Shangde is a mime artist from Taiwan. He has rich experience in stage performance. In 2011, he suddenly decided to start his personal street mime performance project "Mime Runaway". He thinks that he would be more willing to perform his mime art on the street than performing in a static theater. He believes that performing arts should enter every ordinary person's daily life. He also tried to use this form of performance to teach people how to open up and accept strangers around him. The inexplicable fear of strangers has always been the demon he has been unable to overcome in the past ten years. He is trying to use this form of artistic performance to carry out a self-salvation of his past.

Director‘s Statement
I came across Yao Shangde by chance through iQIYI's "Wonderful Flower Conference". His mime performance on the stage was full of appeal to me. Before that, I screened more than 100 different character stories. In the end, he chose to shoot this film because he was moved by his speech. Behind his speech, I vaguely felt that there was another story he wanted to tell on stage, and I also wanted to explore more through the camera. I want the audience to feel Yao Shangde's life experience and understand his philosophy of life. This will help the audience to accept his works of art. I hope that this movie can create an emotional experience for the audience and bring them into Yao Shangde's inner world, giving him more understanding and support.
