18 MINS / CHINESE - MIN NAN / CHINA / 2023 /FAMILY DRAMA

Synopsis

As a sparkling pearl in the east of Guangdong Province, Shantou retains the most traditional culture in which the sacrificial culture turns out to be the most vital part. However, as one of the post-2000s generation, Mingji Lin despises it for being dregs of feudalism. This is why he puts perfunctory effort into each worship and sacrifice offering. After time he realizes that worshiping essentially is not wishing but transmission of culture. What has been passed down is not dregs of feudalism and what is kept by the burning incense are the ties of kinship
