The one-eyed lame Lao Li said that this was a manifestation of the gods under the canal. The "clairvoyance" and "catching objects from the air" in the play turned out to be Gou Sheng's ability to earn a living. He can see copper plates in the snow, make beggars tumble over their heads, and even dig out elixirs that have been buried for hundreds of years in mass graves. But the magic did not turn him into a domineering god. Instead, it made him understand better: the frozen cornbread should be distributed to the children fleeing the famine, and the robbed sellers should secretly help. Just like what his father said when he taught him to farm, "seedlings must be divided to grow strong."
