On the day when the end of the world came, there was a dark red star in the sky.
Feng Ping is a barber, and his greatest ambition in this life is to raise his two sons. But the ten-year-old's air-drying can make the chair float, and Feng Kun's hands will emit sparks - some children are born different.
Next door, Lao Zhou ran home to see his wife, and screams were heard at night. After dawn, Fengping put his rice bag on his back, wrapped his kitchen knife, and walked west with his two children. He didn't know what was to the west, but he knew that there was something to the east - the guy who broke the door last night went east.
On the road I meet both dead people and living people. Someone asked "Are you alive" and then died. Some people say "the west is gone" and then they go crazy. There were always rustling footsteps at night, and something was standing in the distance watching them. Feng Ping was scared to death, and his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the razor, but with the two children behind him, he couldn't run away.
He didn't know what the star was, where the things in the darkness came from, or what the phrase "its blood is black and yellow" meant. He only knew that the children had to eat when they were hungry, hide when it was dark, and go west when it was time to go west.
This is not a heroic story. This is the story of a father who was scared to death and bravely moved forward for the sake of his children.
