To have children is to prevent old age, and to be like a cow or a horse is to catch the excrement and urine. Pampered children breed karma, and suddenly wake up to the rewards in this world. The eldest brother Zhengdong is the only child of the Zhang family and is regarded as his darling. He grew up from a gangster to an old bachelor, and finally became a lonely old man, crazy and living on charity. The town fed him and the people got used to his presence. He is like the crooked-necked tree in the town, swaying in the wind and rain.
