E Huang Mountain is a small mountain in my hometown. One day I heard the saga that E Huang was the home of gods, so I wondered why the town at the foot of the mountain where used to be the paradise has changed so much. With that question, I planed to make a film. At that begin-ning, I have no scripts or a story but only some vague thoughts. Only after inviting some of my old friends to act, I fi-nally found the in-teresting stories to tell.
