A Vast Horizon: The Comeback of Three Million Security Guards

Chen Xiang, 42, is a community security guard with a million yuan in debt. His life has hit rock bottom, until he sees the words "I owe my son a stage" in his 68-year-old mother's ledger, and learns of a singing competition called Song Without a Name, with a championship prize of three million yuan.

The former security guard practices singing beneath the cooling tower of an abandoned factory and writes songs at its top.

Starshine blacklists him, the industry closes ranks against him, and his mother lies gravely ill. People knock him into the mud again and again, but he turns every nail into a song.

From livestreams at a factory where no one pays attention, to tour stages where tens of thousands sing along. He has no connections or backers, only an old guitar and a group of old friends who climbed out of the mud with him.

Some say he's crazy. Others say he can't win.

He just smiles, then sings his last song.
