Features: Morning starts from the middle of the night. In the dim and hazy middle of the night, a thunderous "gudong" sound shook the earth, followed by a terrifying howl. Yin Jiahou jolted awake, his whole body stiff as a board, momentarily thinking he was in a nightmare. When he came to his senses, realizing his son had fallen to the ground, his wife had already jumped out of bed barefoot, trembling as she called for their son. The two of them, in the narrow and cramped space, knocked over several household items and tumbled together in a clumsy heap. His instinctive reaction was to turn on the light, knowing that in a family emergency at midnight, a husband should remain calm. But he couldn't find the light cord no matter how he tried! Yin Jiahou was panting heavily, his arms wildly searching the walls.
