Wanxiang Paper Shop

On the first day when Zhou Shu returned to his father's paper shop, he drew a pair of red eyes on the paper man on the counter. He didn't know that according to the papermaker's rules, the paper work with the dotted eyes would "come alive". It will remember the person who clicked its eyes, find him step by step - and then pull him into the paper. Three days later, the faceless paper man learned to walk. Zhou Shu was thirty-two years old and returned to Lao Cai after being laid off. My father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was in a coma, leaving behind a paper shop, a book full of rules and regulations, and a faceless paper man. He originally just wanted to sell the shop. But people in the old street told him: Your father's job is not just to tie paper - it is to fulfill people's wishes. The old lady who comes to tie a paper cradle every winter solstice, has been waiting for thirty-five years for her "grandson" who has never been born; the widower who ran a horse on the Yunnan-Tibet line wants to tie a paper horse for the dead horse, and the horse's name is "Black Wind"; and the woman who wants a paper wedding dress, the person she wants to marry died three years ago. The obsession is put into the paper, and the paper becomes a living thing. Zhou Shu gradually understood that the papermaker's duty was not to slay demons but to understand the voices that couldn't be let go and bring an end to them.
