Introduction to "When All Passbooks Are Burned"
Forty-eight-year-old Lu Shoujian has lived most of his life and has always been self-denial and frugal. He prioritizes his wife, children, and family in everything he does. He has a hard-earned savings of 920,000 yuan, but he is reluctant to spend even half a penny more. He fully hopes to save enough money to buy a house for his son to settle down. A hospital report made a mistake, and a diagnosis of a terminal brain tumor fell into his hands. He thought he only had a dozen days left to live.
In despair, Lu Shoujian made a bold decision. Without telling his family, he took out all his savings, met up with three old friends he had sworn as a teenager, and embarked on a reckless end-of-the-road trip. The four people spent their money wildly to make up for all the regrets left over from their youth. Behind the ridiculous and lively journey, the family has exploded, and the brotherhood has also grown cracks under the test of money.
Just when this carnival of farewell to life was coming to an end, the truth was suddenly revealed: it was just that the report was wrong, and Lu Shoujian's health was not serious. But most of the huge savings have been consumed and cannot be recovered. A ridiculous ending, leaving everyone with a reality, and forcing this middle-aged man who is used to sacrificing himself to rethink who he should live for.
