The Abandoned Prodigy

“Child prodigy” is what people called Yang Yu more than twenty years ago.

In the 1980s and 1990s, a nationwide craze for human psychic powers swept the country. The “Gagdaqi Prodigy” appeared out of nowhere, seemingly capable of anything from mind reading to hypnosis, and quickly rose to fame. But overnight, the prodigy became an uncontrollable monster and brutally killed his adoptive parents. The upbringing and supervision of children with psychic abilities became a hot social issue. Ten-year-old Yang Yu was branded a highly dangerous antisocial personality and sent to juvenile detention. As the times changed, he was forgotten.

Many years later, an accidental gambling game brings Yang Yu back to Gagdaqi, where forests of Mongolian pine and birch stretch across the mountains, and secrets lie buried beneath the soil.
