Shen Chuan opened his eyes to find himself a six-year-old orphan in the 1950s or 60s, with no parents and on the verge of starving to death.
Seeing Xu Damao, who had just finished showing a movie in the village, he realized he was in the world of that famous courtyard full of “beasts.”
To stay alive, he trekked to the capital and plunged into the courtyard full of “beasts,” setting his sights on Yi Zhonghai, the childless First Master.
After watching him for several days, Shen Chuan was so hungry he could barely go on. He made a move that would change his life forever.
He knelt right in front of Yi Zhonghai and First Aunt. “I know you don’t have any children, and I don’t have any parents. I want to take care of you in your old age!”
Everyone in the courtyard was dumbfounded, and Yi Zhonghai just wanted to send him away. But Shen Chuan clung to this lifeline, calling him “Dad” and her “Mom” over and over, until he had firmly “wedged” himself into the Yi family.
At first, everyone in the courtyard called Yi Zhonghai a senile old fool for taking in a beggar as his son. Later, when they saw the child they had looked down on thriving, they grew green with envy and put on ingratiating smiles.
Yi Zhonghai, meanwhile, became the biggest winner of all, bragging to anyone who would listen: “The best decision I ever made was taking in my Xiao Chuan!”
Simply looking at the gap.
It looks disturbing. . .
