Xu Changan, 23 years old, a recent graduate, submitted 317 resumes and received zero offers. When he ran out of ammunition and food, he registered as a food delivery rider and lived in "Wazi Lane", an urban village at the bottom of Linyuan City.
He thought life was hard enough.
Until that night, three "Taos" sounded in my ears.
A voice claiming to be "Tao" told him that his thinking frequency was consistent with the Tao of heaven and earth, and he was selected as the "Taoist" - to maintain order for Tao and to transform the dead souls stranded in the world. The ability is not to turn stones into gold, or to see into the future, but to catch ghosts.
From then on, Xu Changan delivered food during the day and ferried the souls of the dead at night. He discovered that the ghosts were not green-faced and fanged monsters, but ordinary people who had lost their way: the programmer who died suddenly while working overtime while still correcting the code, the high school student who repeatedly took the last subway train after being bullied, the centenarian Canniang who guarded his old house and refused to leave, and the old woman who still smelled wontons in the night market after her death. They are not bad, they are just difficult to calm down.
**It's hard to make money, it's hard to keep love, and it's hard to calm down. But if you find it hard to calm down, go ahead and calm down. What cannot be calmed becomes a lamp, illuminating oneself and others. **
