Under the Shadow

Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou govern the country and bring peace to the world, and are passed down to the families of the people. Shadow puppetry, the quintessence of national culture, has gradually faded out of sight, but since the Western Han Dynasty, shadow puppetry has carried countless legends of the prosperous times. Ban Juelin was born in a family that inherits shadow puppetry. She is the youngest daughter in the family. Her elder brother and sister have never been interested in the shadow puppetry that her father is good at. Only Ban Juelin has been willing to listen to her father present the past and present one after another on the white curtain since she was a child. However, when she was 13 years old, her father died in a fraud and kidnapping case. The only thing at the scene was a piece of donkey skin he was holding in his hand. And the case shocked the whole city. The three children of the Ban family were forced to leave their original city. Before leaving, they were stopped by the wife of Changgang Enterprise. She smiled and invited the three brothers and sisters to watch a shadow puppet show, "Farewell My Concubine". After that, the three brothers and sisters were forced to separate, and only Ban Juelin was taken away by her father's best colleague during his lifetime. Ten years later, the three grown-up brothers and sisters had the opportunity to reunite in their hometown. Although they were strangers and estranged, they had only one common obsession: to find out the real cause of their father's death... The truth that has been hidden for many years emerges with the hints hidden in the shadow puppet show.
