A Legendary Love of China

Despite his young age, eleven-year-old Zhong Kui has dedicated himself to becoming an exorcist. He assembles a team of unusual companions: Xiaoyu (a fish-like being) and Huanxi (a ginseng elf). They travel to Luo City, initially intending to continue their charade of tricking people. However, when a real demon appears, throwing the city into chaos and putting everyone in danger, Zhong Kui must rediscover the true power of an exorcist to protect everyone.

The film is about the rich, the poor, and the government. Are we living in a world run by the rule of fair play, or instead, the rule of jungle, where the winner chases the loser to the end?
