Beijing, one o'clock in the morning. Lin Wanqiu's daytime job is to put makeup on the dead. After five years in the funeral parlor, she has a steadier hand than a surgeon. Every stroke of foundation and eyeliner is to leave the last decent face for those who have left. She thought she knew enough about death.
Until one day after get off work, a dark blue business card floated to her feet. There was no phone number, no address, just two words in hot silver - "Return on behalf of others". She wanted to throw it away, but the business card stuck to the sole of her shoe and couldn't shake it off. She scanned the code. The APP only asked one question: "Are you willing to drive someone on their last journey?" -- "Takeaway Strange Tales: Night Food", a companion piece to the world view
From that day on, she became a late-night driver.
For every order, she got into a stranger's car, held someone else's steering wheel, and walked someone else's way. Some clients can talk and some can't. Some clients' faces in the rearview mirror are darker than what they see with the naked eye. Some customers get off the bus and are never seen again.
The driving platform is called "Daigui". Return home for others.
