I, Zhang Nanbei, live in Gugeng Mountain Village. My ancestors were engaged in tomb robbing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the clan washed their hands in golden basins. In order to build up the archaeological cause, my grandfather led the archaeological team to travel all over the country. Later, he was framed and paralyzed in bed.
Before my grandfather passed away, my father and his third uncle separated and their whereabouts were unknown. My father died of tuberculosis. I became an orphan after my grandfather passed away.
Poverty prevented me from paying for college, so I decided to take a year off. During this period, I assisted the archaeological team in exploring the ancient tomb of the Zhang family under the Gugeng Reservoir. Fa Xiao Wangzhuang, Professor Chen from the municipal archaeological team and I went to the tomb to explore. Who knew that this trip would completely change my life...
