The film contains three stories. Story one is about the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Ray County like to eat wild animals all day long to harm the living and kill the evil spirits. They eat so much of it that the blood and water in the meat market is soaked into the ground all year round and attracts ‘evil things’ to occupy and cannibalize their young children, while harming their neighbours, so as a consequence the whole county was in fear. The peace of the people is guaranteed only on one side of the river. The second story is about the Ming Dynasty. One day, the young master’s unrepentant ways and uncontrollable waste of grain crops caused widespread discontent among the peasants, who dared not voice their anger. The third story is about the Republic of China. Mr. Yang, a tycoon, prefers sons to daughters and spoils his young son, making his daughters jealous. (Source: Letterboxd)
