Every Province Is Joking Around, but Western Hunan Is Doing It for Real

During an online class, the teacher asks everyone to introduce their hometowns, and the students start trying to outdo one another on the video call.

"To be honest, everyone in Sichuan gets a giant panda when they turn twelve."

"I'm so jealous. In Shaanxi, we have to serve two years in the Terracotta Army when we turn sixteen."

"You want to compete? Back home, everyone runs a leather factory!"

"Every year, our hometown pays tribute to Guangdong with a Fujianese!"

"For our coming-of-age ceremony in Hubei, we go to Shennongjia and catch a wild man!"

When it is Han Tang's turn to introduce his hometown, he smiles and says, "In western Hunan, we learn how to drive corpses around when we're five."

As soon as he finishes speaking, Han Tang stands in front of a graveyard, shakes a corpse-driving bell, and calls out in a low voice:

"Heavenly Dipper, Big Dipper, Earthly Fiend, Southern Star, obey my command!"

"Rise!"

As his classmates stare in shock, three corpses suddenly stand up.

Classmate: "Holy crap, what are you doing? Everyone else is joking around, but you people in western Hunan are actually doing it for real!"
