Plot
Although the devastating circumstances were not superficial, technically the entire world is collapsing due to all natural cataclysmic events such as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes that's causing the planet to become unstable. At first, nobody cared such a disaster. People claimed that Wildfires, Droughts, Mass Extinction and Vanishing Cities were just irregular events that were caused across the planet. Until in the year 2061, everyone was entwined with the fate of our planet. Not from the Earth, but from outer Space.

Our Solar System is astonishingly fascinating for all human astronomy and the powerful legacy which held all the planets to orbit the heart of the Solar System - The Sun. Unfortunately, human societies and organisations found out that the Solar System is falling apart. The Sun is rapidly dying and exploding since the maximization of the fuel of the Sun causes it to degenerate and expand, completely crushing the core. At this horrifying fate of the Sun, swells into a Red Giant, sooner or later, would be known when the Earth will be engulfed in 100 years. Within 300 years, the Solar System would cease and no longer exist.

The Nations of the entire world consolidated this cataclysmic and destructing occurrence, like mankind never united before. To save the Earth from being engulfed the Red Giant that was once considered the Sun. The United Earth Government (U.E.G) created an enduring project simulation that would turn Earth into a gigantic rocket-ship to migrate the Earth out of the Solar System using 12,000 fuel engines built around the northern hemisphere and torque engines along the equator (this actually is a problem because humans have to stop Earth Rotation), this endeavor and mighty obligation that was created to save the Earth is named The Wandering Earth Project!

In order the create the safety maximization of humanity's survival, and to ensure the Wandering Earth project is finally succeeded. All astronauts from several prominent countries of the U.E.G to be shipped and boarded into the creation of the Navigation Platform International Space Station. And for safety precautions, all of the remaining population would be living underground cities adjacent to the fuel engines, due to the Earth's distances from the Sun, the planet is now a frozen celestial object.

The main protagonist also considered the Chinese Astronaut - Liu Peiqiang, who is one of the astronauts boarded in the N.P.I.S.S, was already informed by the ship A.I, (Artificial Intelligence) who was named MOSS. Liu Peiqiang was told that he would soon be addressed back to Earth before the consolidation of the Chinese New Year, after 17 years of training (2078). His original son - Liu Qi, now a young adult, is going on a secret mission to go outside into the frozen world. This was partly because he's going to send his foster sister - Han Duoduo, outside for the first time. He was caught by a bunch of criminals who gave each of them their suits and tags to climb aboard. They chased after the two teenagers, but Liu Oi and Han Duoduo managed to escape the thieves from trying. Thankfully, since their ID's were a pass, they were fortunate to be allowed to go into the now frozen city of Beijing through the 500 ft elevator that is built adjacent to the thrusters. When Liu Qi and Han Duoduo grab their grandfather's pass to enlighten a drive truck, besides the fact that Liu Qi is just a trainee, so he doesn't have enough experience with driving. He bumps into a few trucks and people, but he managed to steer as Liu Qi and Han Duoduo are roaming through the Frozen world.

Back on the Navigation Platform International Space Station, Liu Peiqiang is congratulated by his related friend Makarov - a Russian cosmonaut. Both of them finally completed the mission of Earth migrated out of the Terrestrial region.
