Looking Up at Dumas Fly is played by three different actors. Xiao Xiaofei is very likable and his academic performance is poor. Later, under the education of Ma Haowen, he tried to be a top student. Ma Haowen asked Ma Fei what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said he wanted to go to Tsinghua Peking University. As an adult, Ma Fei found his dream of becoming an astronaut, and tried to overcome difficulties and become a real astronaut. At the end of the film, Ma Fei didn't die, but realized his ideal and understood his father's teaching for so many years.

The narrative thread of Looking Up is composed of the memories of astronaut Ma Fei at this moment. Such an obvious story of warmth is bound to impress the audience who are used to the crazy style of Deng Yu's first two films, and this is exactly the case. Through the big and small events in Ma Fei's memory, which are almost doomed to die in space, from seeing the bridge collapse to the torrent and hearing his father's cry, they are full of grand drama tension, trying to strengthen the tenacious emotional bond between father and son in a highly contrasting scene.
Ma Haowen's own innocent crime and his efforts to free his son from the trap of exam-oriented education have become the most dynamic driving force of the whole film, which makes it full of positive energy and easy to occupy the moral and empathy highlands.
