Cangmang Asks the Way 1: Guardian of the Lamp

A copper coin, forty-eight years, three generations of silence. At fourteen, Cang Tianci touched that coin for the first time. The cold touch brought to mind flashes of blood, gunshots, and a pair of unseeing eyes. He didn't know that behind this coin lay a secret his great-grandfather had guarded for forty-eight years with his life. He also didn't know that this secret would one snowy night, causing gunshots to echo throughout Xiqiao Village. He was once the "stutterer" everyone mocked, yet he became a national martial arts champion. He was once covered in wounds protecting the girl he loved, yet he had to choose between several women who deeply loved him. He once fought for his ideals until he vomited blood and fell into a coma, waking up with complete amnesia, forced to start from scratch. It took him thirty years to understand: the so-called "seeking the way" wasn't about going to distant places to find answers, but about discovering that he himself was the lamp. But he didn't know that the lamp was being forcefully blown away by an unseen force. The lamp goes out, but it can be lit again. The wire breaks, but it can be reconnected. The person is gone, but the lamp remains. If you have ever felt lost, suffered, or doubted the meaning of life—that boy named Cang Tianci is waiting for you inside. He is waiting for you to light the lamp together.
