House of Counterfeit Coins

The legend of a mentally retarded child is used to interpret the legend of a small town in the process of modernization. A small southern town, a noisy street, a quarreling family, and a six-year-old child who mysteriously killed his brother and sister. After being severely beaten by his parents, he became an idiot, but unexpectedly acquired the magical ability to draw renminbi lifelike. The people in the small town were superstitious that the fake money drawn by this idiot genius would make them rich and lucky, and they all bought it with real money. As a result, the small town at the end of the century had a new totem. After this idiot genius's family became rich, a new crisis occurred between his parents. One day, he accidentally kicked him off the patio, which actually made him return to normal and he could no longer make money.
