The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month in 1987. Several antique hunting enthusiasts walked into a long-abandoned village in Shiling, Haining in the dark.
There was a skewed stage in the center of the village. In the broken wooden boxes behind the stage, they dug out several yellowed "Shadow Puppet Diaries" belonging to a long-disbanded shadow puppet troupe "Yongqingtang".
There are no dramas in the diary, only strange things are recorded: an otter wears a red bellyband and walks at night, a child drowns, and a shadow figure dances by himself. Turning to the last page, the writing was scrawled.
The fish are gone, the river is dirty, and the otter has broken teeth and died.
The secrets that have been sealed for many years are being opened page by page.
The truth comes to light, but it's not clear whether the person is digging for the story, or whether the story has finally reached the person.
Intention: The protagonist of the folk tale speaks in person, breaking the traditional third-person narrative mode of traditional folk tales and enhancing the sense of substitution and emotional resonance. Deep cultivation of regional culture: Focus on local stories in Zhejiang, explore local memories, and help spread intangible cultural heritage among young people.
