In an office for conciliation before divorce, a clerk records Feng De and his wife's decision to separate. Feng De, who is a taxi driver, goes back to work. His profession is facing deep mutation, but despite all kinds of difficulties, he is quite satisfied with his job which allows him to meet many women: a librarian, a waitress in a restaurant, a young peasant who recently came to Beijing…
While following Feng De in his taxi, we discover Beijing, the mute character of the film, whose transformations seem beyond human control, a city becoming indifferent and stranger to the people who are crushed by it.

“In I Love Beijing, the third part of a trilogy including For Fun and On the Beat, the extent of the change in our lives and the anxiety of the new generation are depicted as a rhapsody through the eyes of a young taxi driver”. Ning Ying
