Baofahu (The Evicted Millionaires)

The story unfolds around a young man, A, who lives and owns a firework store in the urban village. Due to forced eviction, he has to leave the urban village for good—compensation offered by the government—or bad—the uncertainty of his job and living. Through long-term internal struggle, he decides to set off all the unsalable fireworks, which allows him to destroy his livelihood before the police do so. However, this process seems different from the perspective of a student, a customer of A. When A is struggling in pain and confusion, the student envies that he can "reap without sowing" and pleasantly enjoys a daylight firework show.
