On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, August, 15th on the lunar calendar, a giant meteorite blazed across the Shangri-La sky and exploded above a base for mountain products.As scientists speculated there would likely be a meteorite landing, a high price offer, 10,000 RMB a gram, for the “Shangri-La Meteorite” was made by a collector agency. Lured by the tempting offer, a diverse group of hunters gathered under the snow mountain. Out of curiosity, Liu started his search with the clues given by local residents. As he updated his hunt online, the previously unknown Liu suddenly became the center of attention. And he noticed the stone has caused a subtle change in the originally innocent local atmosphere. Called upon by Liu, the hunters formed a temporary team and started a dark and outrageous quest in the Hengduan Mountain region at Southwest China.
