Beautiful Vivian

Yaozu Wang, born in a village of Sichuan. In 2011, the price of a Tibetan mastiff soared to 1.8 million RMB. Yaozu sold his house in his village and invested all the money in the business of Tibetan mastiff.
In 2019, the price of a Tibetan mastiff fell to 80,000 RMB. His village was assigned as an economic development area. The house price in the village increased tenfold. Yaozu became the best joke in the village and threw himself into the Lancang River.
However, the story you are going to see has nothing with Yaozu.

Director Statement

2014, director Li has noticed a news about a old veterinarian misused the fake medicine and killed a Tibetan mastiffs on the operating table. Due to inability to compensate, the old veterinarian kneel down to the owner of the Tibetan Mastiff in the court in front of his crying daughter. This absurd reality news make he recall the CuZhi, LiaoZhai, a Chinese traditional mythological story.
We cut a crack on this story, everyone can see his own life. Director try to just present the fact instead of make a moral critique.
