Features: Survivor tells a story set within a single week in the summer of 1991. From Monday to Sunday, the protagonist Zeng Shanmei experiences a series of accidents. These incidents are actually typical events of a transitional society, carrying an ambiguous tone between good and evil. For Zeng Shanmei, a young woman just stepping into society, almost every event carries the meaning of life choices: to indulge or to restrain? To be loyal or to betray? To be ambitious or to decline? To be a "good person" or a "bad person"? The seven days of Zeng Shanmei in Survivor are as long as the duration of God's creation in the Bible. She is able to endure these difficult seven days not because she is stronger or smarter, but quite the opposite—because she is more dull and less sensitive than others.
