On the Gangue

The Tianxiang Nursing Home, which was transformed from an abandoned coal mine, has become a gathering place for students in Grade 83 in their later years. The gangue mountain carries the passion of everyone's youth, and also buries an ancient past event that no one dares to face head-on. Mine closures, family separations, and separations of life and death followed one after another. Undercurrents surged in seemingly stable nursing homes, and secret deals lurked in abandoned mines. Zhen Yu, who was living in seclusion in the mountains, went to meet again on an appointment. Under the moonlit night, the old friend confessed the guilt and regret that had been buried in her heart for many years. Wang Tianxiang, the former mine manager, used waste soil to build a place for health and wellness. He spent half his life ups and downs, and finally found peace with the past and himself on a wasteland.
