What should a Chinese Superman be like?
Patriotic, friendly, humble, polite, powerful... There's nothing wrong with these words, because this is the kind of Superman people understand and need.
Kong Kenan isn't like that.
Just as his father once told him, he's only a kid hiding behind the S.
Kong Kenan is a left-behind child from an unhappy family, a bully who picks on his classmates, an indecisive, narcissistic little brat... He shouldn't be Superman. Superman isn't like that.
He tried. He tried to become a better person, to take the right path, to do everything he could to be a proper Superman...
Until death came.
"I thought I'd died like a hero. But I didn't. You brought me back to life, because Superman is necessary."
Everyone is waiting for the new Superman to step forward again, but no one is waiting for Kong Kenan to be reborn.
"Kong Kenan is dead! You killed him, every single one of you!"
"There's no Kong Kenan anymore! There's only the new Superman, only China's Superman!"
Forgotten in a corner, slowly rotting away, Kong Kenan is dying... and that's the only way to satisfy everyone.
Celebrate!
Celebrate!
The flawless superhero who belongs to us alone: the true new Superman, born at last!
