In 1994, Jack Ma traveled to Japan for the sole purpose of finding Yumiko Araki's whereabouts.
The actor, who has retired from the entertainment industry, has not attracted much attention.
Ma Yun decided to stay for a while longer and continue to look for the "dream goddess", and did not give up.
He has traveled to places such as television stations and entertainment agencies many times, but each time he has returned disappointed.
Unable to stay in a foreign country, Jack Ma had to return to his homeland and find another way to find Yumiko Araki.

At this time, he unexpectedly became acquainted with an enthusiastic Japanese.
A kind stranger assists him in contacting Yumiko Araki, and after a few days of waiting, Yumiko Araki finally meets Jack Ma at a café.

Although she is interested in acting, her family is very conservative and they just want their daughter to be safe.
Yumiko Araki has a strong temperament, and she firmly believes that she is destined to be a great actress.
Despite the opposition of his family, this dream became more determined.
However, the road will not be smooth, and she will have to face fierce competition and numerous difficulties.

She was not disappointed by these and silently accumulated experience.
She finally showed her acting skills in a film that moved the audience and won the recognition of professionals.
During this period, the Japanese women's volleyball team successfully won the World Cup.

An unexpected incident caused the release date of the TV series to be blocked.
Yumiko Araki was suppressed, and she didn't think about tea all day, and finally made the decision to quit the entertainment industry.
