As a result, he sets up a huge tent on the Huashan Grassland and carries out an experimental project called the "120 Grassroots Self-Autonomous Zone". As the settlement is getting bigger and bigger, the Utopia gradually takes shape. Nonetheless, when the shocking murder and dismemberment of a woman happens on the Grassland, the authorities demolish the settlement and Jhuang Yifan gets chased out of the Grassland by the public opinion. Having experienced the rise and the fall of the 120 Grassroots Self-Autonomous Zone, where would this group of young people go as they are forced into exile? Written by
