* TheChiefsDaughter: Yang is revealed to be the daughter of a Paiwan tribe’s chief.

* DrunkenMaster: Li Bai seems to come up with his best poetry when he is drunk out of his mind.
* EducationPapa: Yang’s father initially refuses to sign Yang’s street performing permit because he fears that it will distract from her studies, which he pushes on both his children because he believes it’s the only way the members of their people group can gain the people’s respect and not be treated as illiterate tribesmen.
