Hero (YOU Ling)

In a city plagued by crime, a mysterious vigilante known only as Oldman has become a symbol of justice. Concealing his true identity behind an eerie elderly mask, he relentlessly hunts down criminals and purges the streets of evil. His daring exploits have earned him the admiration of countless citizens, transforming him into a local idol. Among his most devoted followers is Tong, a young elementary school student who looks up to the masked figure with unwavering awe. Despite his hero worship, Tong harbors a deep sense of personal shame regarding his own family. Although his father serves as a police officer, the boy feels nothing but embarrassment over his parent's chronic inability to solve cases or bring criminals to justice. To Tong, the stark contrast between his father’s professional failures and Oldman’s flawless crusade is a painful reality he must endure every day. However, everything changes on the day Tong celebrates his twelfth birthday. Instead of a normal celebration, a shocking and unexpected event unfolds, shattering the boundaries between the boy's ordinary life and the dangerous world of vigilantism he so deeply admires.
