What it’s about. Try as he might, Fi Cheung can’t rid himself of a profound motion sickness and insecurity associated with living on land.

Those were the fishing days of counting on divine providence to weather the harsh elements of nature. Now heading north for one final destination on the eve of resuming his sea-faring days, Fi follows the clues on the treasure map bequeathed by his grandpa on a hunt for a treasure irrevocably lost but not forgotten.
