In Wuyin Town, on the Yunnan border, countless secrets lie hidden among the aerial roots of a thousand-year-old banyan tree.

The Mountain Scorched Red by Pine Tar 松油烫红的山
Deep in the mountains of Yunnan lies a mountain steeped in pine resin. The red pines grow redder than ham, and their resin runs down in streams that can set half the night sky ablaze. The hot springs at the foot of the mountain can boil eggs, but they can swallow the living, too. Those who have bathed in them say there are dragon shadows in the water. Those who haven't only dare listen to the pines from far away. In their roar, it sounds as if countless people are humming the same tune. Across

A Wandering Letter from the Classic of Mountains 山经上的漂泊信
Deep in the folds of mist-shrouded mountains, every ring of a cowbell is an unsent letter from a wandering soul, holding childhood secrets sealed away by time.

There are no exquisite toys, but the footprints left while tending cattle brim with hopes for the future. When life’s burdens bend a young back, what keeps a heart stubbornly reaching for the sun? Adapted from a true story, Letters
