According to the ancestors of Chang Zhi'an's family, there was a coffin shop. The coffin shop was facing the execution ground. There was a man in black clothes sitting beside the execution ground all year round, named Luo Yan. He was the corpse carrier who carried ownerless corpses into graves.
When Chang Zhi'an was three years old, Luo Yan saved his life after something was messed up at home. From then on, Luo Yan became Chang Zhi'an's godfather.
On his tenth birthday, Luo Yan gave Chang Zhi'an a snake pendant. It was then that Chang Zhi'an finally learned the secret behind the person and the corpse.
The fictional background is all made up by the author, using some settings from the Chinese Tibetan folk tale "The Corpse Language".
Purpose: Only people in humble circumstances have the best chance to see the truth about human nature. If a person doesn't want to climb high, he doesn't need to be afraid of falling, and he doesn't need to exclude others. He can keep his innocence, let nature take its course, and concentrate on accomplishing what he can do.
