After the war subsided, Wei Nanshan returned to his hometown dragging his residual leg. He was also holding his dead brother Zheng Donghai in his hand. But now, the tall man beside him on the battlefield has returned to the mental state of a five-year-old.
The neighbors sighed and the world laughed at them, saying that if a cripple drags a fool, his life is over. Wei Nanshan gritted his teeth and built a home in the isolated and barren countryside. And Zheng Donghai also used his innocence and dependence to slowly and gently drag Wei Nanshan back from the embers of war to the vibrant world.
In that era where feelings had to be carefully hidden, the companionship of two men was destined to remain unspoken. The world only sees two disabled veterans living together, but they don't know what kind of secret thoughts are hidden under those tiny pieces of food, rice, oil and salt.
Purpose: To explore the micro-individual fate behind the trauma of war, and to describe pure emotions that transcend utilitarian calculations and secular prejudice.
