On the grassland, antelopes have used "circle formations" to defend themselves against lions for generations. On the day when the young Green Horn stood on the outer circle for the first time, the Lion King Golden Mane promulgated the "Slowest Protection Law" - the last antelope returning home every day will be protected by the Lion King.
After the decree was promulgated, the circle dispersed. The antelopes began to run wildly, fearing to be the last one standing. Green Horn's partner Black Hoof established a mutual aid association and formed gangs; Lame, who was once abandoned, became the most active perpetrator in order to protect himself; the oldest Blue Hoof, with seven scars, chose his own ending.
Qingjiao stood on the edge of the collapsed tribe, thinking over and over again of Cang Tu's words: "Remember the circle, even if you are the only one left." He unexpectedly discovered that the "sheltered" antelopes did not die, but were kept in captivity in the canyon behind the high rock - alive, but with empty eyes, worse than death.
When the Lion King replaced "run" with "choose", the antelopes began to vote to decide who should die. Qingjiao finally understood that the track was not drawn by the lions, but was run by them themselves. This time, he chose not to run away, and stood back in a circular formation with his companions who were willing to believe in him.
Purpose: When fear becomes the rule, standing together is the only resistance.
