Wang Shun is an seventy-year-old single man, who lives for collecting scraps in a backward village; nobody cares about him at all. After his old dog dies, Wang Shun plans to spend all of his saving to hold a magnificent funeral for himself in advance of his death to ensure he leaves evidence of his existence in the village memory. The funeral for a living man makes Wang Shun a local celebrity.
