Ning Li

During the reign of Emperor Wanli (1572-1620) of the Ming Dynasty, the region of Jiangnan is turned upside down by a gruesome spate of killings. The murderer leaves corpses in strange poses, leaving cryptic notes as “clues” at the scene of the crime each time. To make matters even more mysterious, the victims all appear unconnected with one another – although the killer seems to be the same person in each instance.

The disciple of the first of this serial killer’s victims is a young man named Qu San Geng (Bai Yu Fan). With the help of a small group of associates, he tries to get to the bottom of the murders. But as they start to investigate, incidents that took place a decade ago come to light once more. There are also signs that a mysterious and evil puppet master is pulling the strings in the background. Can Qu San Geng find – and stop – the killer...and solve the mystery?

“Ripe Town” is a 2023 Chinese drama series that was directed by Wang Zheng.

Ripe Town

Death is in the details

In the not-too-distant future, our galaxy’s sun has morphed into an ever-expanding red giant that threatens to consume the Earth. To save the planet from imminent destruction, the United Earth Government has decided to initialize the Moving Mountain Project, an ambitious program employing massive fusion engines to move the planet out of the sun’s path.

While most of the UEG agrees that the Moving Mountain Project should be a top priority, there are those, including Zhe Zhi Zhou (Li Xue Jian), the diplomate heading up the UEG’s Chinese delegation, who believe the UEG should focus their attention elsewhere. More interested in saving humanity’s collective consciousness than saving the Earth itself, Zhi Zhou believes the global Digital Life Project and its ability to transfer a human’s consciousness into artificially intelligent computer programs, would better serve humanity.&nbsp;

With supporters of both projects willing to go to extremes, saboteurs attacking at every turn, the moon inevitably destined for destruction, and the sun’s relentless march to wipe out humanity, UEG faces insurmountable odds on every side. Will the UEG’s dedicated scientists be able to successfully launch the Moving Mountain Project and ultimately save humanity, or will those opposed to the project ultimately bring about the world’s destruction?&nbsp;

An exciting prequel to the 2019 film, “The Wandering Earth”, which was based on the short story of the same name by Liu Cixin, “The Wandering Earth 2” is a 2023 Chinese science fiction action-adventure film directed by Frant Gwo.&nbsp;
