This is a story about "urban village demolition":
In 2000, Chen Mo was just a pork seller in the "Guangming Village" wet market. He is a simple and honest man, and his only wish is to save money for his mother's medical treatment and for his sister to go to college. When the news of the demolition came, the local snake "Scar King" began to force the old neighbors to move out by cutting off water and electricity. Chen Mo wanted to resist, but was beaten to a bloody head.
That night, he looked at his mother's painful illness and his sister's fearful eyes, picked up a cold butcher's knife, hid it behind him, and walked to King Scar's office... He didn't know that this night would split his life in half. And Li Jing, the young and idealistic deputy director of the sub-district office who had just been transferred, passed him by on her way to do market research.
