Due to reforms in the rural burial system, elderly individuals who pass away after the new year must be buried in a public cemetery, according to the new regulations. However, Wang Guilan, an old lady, believes that after death, one must be buried in the ancestral grave.

The collapse of her beliefs and the shattering of her hopes gradually push her into an uncertain fate.
