Old Ma (played by Ma Xinchun) is a well-known carpenter and painter in the village. At the age of 73, he no longer works in the fields; instead, he spends his days watching card games and chatting at the village entrance or making coffins with another carpenter, Old Cao. However, with the government's strong promotion of cremation, fewer and fewer people come to seek the two old men for coffin-making. Old Cao has felt unwell for nearly a year, so he asked Old Ma to make him a coffin decorated with celestial cranes. After finishing the coffin, Old Ma went to his daughter's home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. When he returned, Old Cao had passed away. Old Cao's body was secretly buried in a cornfield by Caoxi Lake, and Old Ma came here to pay his respects. After returning, he claimed to have seen a celestial crane by the lake. Old Ma secretly told his grandson that his last wish was to be buried by Caoxi Lake, waiting for a day when a celestial crane would carry him to heaven...
