LOST NAME

Second-grader Cang Wenyou grew frustrated and indifferent because he couldn’t write his own name properly—little did he know that his name would vanish from his life as a result. Having lost his name, he was gradually forgotten by the world and swallowed up by darkness. Guided by the single remaining stroke of his name—the character for “one”—Cang Wenyou embarked on a journey to reclaim his name. Along the way, he came to understand the true significance of the transmission of written language, and ultimately, with the help of his ancestors, he recovered the name that belonged to him.
