Nian beast, a millennium legend. In order to drive away the Nian beast's invasion and destruction to humans, people in various places use firecrackers and gongs and drums to drive away the Nian beast every New Year. Thousands of years later, the Nian beast still exists in the world. However, the Nian beast has evolved from a legend into today's migrant workers who are busy making a living.
A netizen once said: The Nian beast is actually me. When the firecrackers go off, the Nian beast returns home, which means a short reunion and excitement at home. As soon as the firecrackers went off, people running around returned to strange cities and returned to their original plain and deserted lives. The desolation after the reunion is in sharp contrast with the quietness after the excitement, and this contrast is an invisible harm.
The old man likes to bask in the sun not because the sun is warm, but because everything he sees brings memories. What warms people is not the sunshine but the human heart and humanity. The ancients had the joy of having children and grandchildren in their peaceful old age and a wonderful old life. However, in the modern era of technological development, farewells and separation of flesh and blood are everywhere.
Intention: It is not the Nian beast that disappears, but the dearest family members. They drifted to foreign lands in order to make a living, but there were still relatives in their hometown who they cared about most.
