How Is Your Fish Today? tells the story of a famous screenwriter (Rao) whose film scripts have all been rejected by Chinese censors. He writes a script about a man named Lin Hao (Yang) for his producer, who expects it to be a Chinese version of The Fugitive. Upon reading Rao's arthouse script, the producer rejects it as the worst screenplay he has ever read. However, Rao does not abandon his story, instead he rewrites it. Rao begins to live through his main character, Lin Hao, as he writes about him fleeing his home on a journey of self-discovery. Hao makes his way to Mohe, as does Rao, and the writer enters his own narrative. Both characters, in a struggle for freedom, have left their homes behind, but while Lin Hao is running away, Hui Rao is searching for something.
