The Opposite of Dying (2024)
死的对头
Tang lives alone in a cave in the mountains. He spends his days trekking and meeting friends in the local town. While this self-styled hermit has lived for years with almost no money, now he dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Coming down from the mountain, he meets local businessmen and old friends, pitching them a series of outlandish money-making schemes – from a campsite on the rooftop of a local hotel, to a 300-day-long hermit experience for tourists. With a deep urge to live a meaningful life, Tang is confronted by the prejudices of townsfolk who see him as nothing more than a local oddity.
