Introduction to "Samsara Dong Village"
The Dong village in the mountains at the junction of Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou hides the most bizarre local secrets in the country. In this village of less than 10,000 people, more than a hundred villagers claim to have complete memories of past lives, and it is known to the world as the "Reincarnation Village." Children can tell the names of their previous lives, the cause of death, old houses and old friends, mother and child are reversed, relatives and friends reunite, and the cycle of grievances and resentments goes back and forth from generation to generation, and no one can understand it.
Lu Sheng, a materialist student, came to live in the village, thinking that everything was folklore imagination and collective psychological suggestion. But after going deep into the village, he suddenly discovered that all the memory fragments of "reincarnation" accurately corresponded to the population of the village that had disappeared inexplicably for decades, unexplained accidents, and old cases that had been deliberately sealed.
Local young man Wu Niansheng carries the memory of three reincarnations and spends half his life searching for the truth. The perspectives of the two generations are intertwined, peeling away the fog of Dong Village layer by layer. The so-called reincarnation of life and death and the repayment of debts from past lives are never supernatural destiny, but gentle lies that have been sealed up in ancient villages for hundreds of years, lynched to secretly commit crimes, and made atonement for generations.
When all reincarnated memories correspond to the dusty murder cases one by one, a rural closed loop that covers hundreds of years and uses reincarnation to cover up sins will eventually be completely broken through.
