Summary:The aged Guan Kouni is the last Shaman of Oroqen. She hopes to find a Shaman heir in her lifetime. On the 1st or 15th day of the lunar calendar, Guan Kouni would place a tribute on the spirit tablet and worship the God in a traditional way. Due to the government, she has not been a Shaman since liberation. Because of the government as well, she is miraculously given a ceremony to pass on her Shaman identity. Guan Kouni hopes to find a Shaman to inherit this ancient religious culture in her life time. However, today's youth have lost their faith in the God, which is the biggest obstacle for Guan to find a successor. She puts the target on her daughter Juhua and son Jurong - What will happen to her in her twilight years?
