Synopsis

The Boys and Donkey
In the pastoral area of the Tibetan Plateau, four kids dress up as Xuanzang and his disciples to seek Buddhist sutras from the West. They secretly catch a donkey and use it as the White Dragon Horse, and end up Xuanzang falling off from the donkey. As a result, Xuanzang punishes the White Dragon Horse, and a series of ridiculous stories happen…

One Circumstance
In the square, an officer is evicting a stall man. In the cafe, a man and a woman are talking about the rumors about them. And somewhere in the distance, three girls are pointing their phone cameras at the cafe.

A Strange Wine Pot
In others’ eyes, Zhang Xiaoqiang is a very ordinary person. He has no skills or bosom friends, and the girl he likes never notices him. One day, lamenting his meaningless life, he ran into a mysterious fortune-teller. Through the old man, Zhang Xiaoqiang learned that he would die decades later. In other words, no matter how hard he tried to seek death, he would not die. So he became bold and confident. What he dared not to do before became much easier. Just when he thought he would change his life and peak, he died unexpectedly of a mild cold. Later, in a conversation with the Grim Reaper, Zhang Xiaoqiang found out that the date of death he saw from the old man turned out to be an unexpected mistake.

Where do Ants Sleep at Night
When a worker ant gets lost from the horde, it will keep walking until it finds a nest or dies.
