Bad days are like mad dogs

Introduction: The "Mad Dog Swordsman," who climbed out of a coffin, wanders the plague-ridden South with his little dog. This is during the Ming Dynasty. The swordsman has no place to stay, living on dog food given out of pity for the little dog by the gatekeeper of a wealthy family. The plague has been raging for years, and greedy soldiers, disguised as bandits, plunder everywhere. On this day, they encounter the "Mad Dog Swordsman" in front of this wealthy family's house, and a fierce battle is about to break out.

Director Statement

This story tells an ancient tale. Since I am a small person from the lower strata of society, my focus is on describing them. The protagonist of this story seems to be another self that emerged from being confined at home for too long during the pandemic. He is an ancient swordsman, carrying my martial arts dreams to use the past to mirror the present. He turns my worries into a fairy tale, using some exhilarating moves to remember the shame of being confined.
