Features: The Tangshan Earthquake of 1976 caused panic in many places across the country. In Shandong's southern region, where a historically highest-level earthquake had occurred three centuries earlier, people were even more terrified, living in constant fear. Amidst this panic, the protagonists, a brother and sister, had to endure the manipulation of the village secretary and his wife to achieve a long-desired goal. Eventually, their dreams were shattered, and the sister killed someone in retaliation, leading to a brutal crime that suddenly erupted amidst an earthquake alert. A history too painful to recall, some scenes too horrific to bear. Renowned writer Zhao Defa's new long, forces us to deeply and seriously reflect on nature, life, and the various questions of life.
