The Soul of Bread

Gao-bing works in a bakery in a small town. The owner, Mr Chiu, is so into his Rock n Roll band, and the apprentice Di doesnt seem enthusiastic about learning baking at all. The business of the bakery is getting down and Gao-bing doesnt know what to do with the situation. All he can do is work harder and makes more bread. Ping, the daughter of Mr Chiu, grew up together with Gao-bing and is Gao-bings girlfriend. She often complains that Gao-bing only follows the traditions and doesnt take any dramatic actions to save the bakery. In order to develop revolutionary new flavors, Ping takes baking courses in the city where she meets Bread. Bread, born in America, is charming and humorous. He falls for Ping at the very first sight. Even though Ping is with Gao-bing, she finds Breads bread has a special magic. She thinks Bread might be the one that saves the bakery... With Pings arrangement, Bread moves in to Mr Chius houses and becomes Gao-bings roommate. Bread never hides his feelings toward Ping and always says, We must put our passing into the bread. Gao-bing disagrees with Breads western style and thinks of him merely a dumbass from America.
