Monster

In a remote mountain village of a county in Anhui Province.

Old Man Xu was originally an ordinary old farmer in the countryside at the foot of the mountain. He ploughed the fields all his life. As he did not graduate from primary school, he could not even speak Mandarin fluently. His son had a promising future as he finished high school, and worked hard with his wife in Zhejiang Province, leaving the little grandson to him and his old companion to take care of.

His little grandson was very lovely, and was clever and sensible. His eyes were big and bright and he was very cheerful. In addition to ploughing the fields, Old Man Xu had two hobbies: drinking and fishing. The wine he drank was home-brewed rice wine. He had to have alcohol together with his three meals everyday.
