Wen Bin was an ordinary mortal, the most ordinary of ordinary people. Two years after his mother passed away, a vivid dream unexpectedly revealed that she was being tormented by evil spirits on the road to the Yellow Springs, trapped in a life of suffering.
To save her, he sought help from Chen Jiu, a guide who could travel between the worlds of the living and the dead, and resolutely set out on the perilous, unknown road to the Yellow Springs. The journey ahead was fraught with danger. He gave everything he had and pushed himself to the limit, all to free his late mother from her plight and deliver her from suffering. This journey between yin and yang was never a heroic legend about saving the world. It was simply a son’s awkward yet unyielding devotion, an expression of the purest, deepest filial love and longing hidden in his heart.
After enduring countless hardships, Wen Bin finally helped his mother reclaim the merit she had lost. To preserve all the memories of her life among the living, his mother chose to remain for a time beside the Bridge of Helplessness. The worlds of yin and yang followed their own laws, and when the three years were up, she would still have to enter the cycle of reincarnation. This redemption that crossed the boundary of life and death ended with a tender yet heartbreaking final farewell, allowing Wen Bin to find his own redemption as he learned to let go of his obsession.
