Incense 2003

The Buddha statue in the temple collapsed and three thousand yuan is needed to repair it. In order to raise the money, the monk (played by Li Qiang) went to the Buddhist Department and the Cultural Relics Department successively. However, the two parties only shirk responsibility from each other. It seems that no one intends to spend the money. In desperation, the monk went to seek help from his senior brother who lived in another temple, but the senior monk just advised him to give up. Afterwards, the monk decided to raise money through alms, but he was caught by the police and taken to the police station not long after. After coming out, the monk met a prostitute who wanted to help, a young man who tried to make his girlfriend happy, and a husband who wanted to get medicine for his wife. He even became a fortune teller. In the end, the monk finally raised money by selling his rosary beads. When he returned to the temple happily, what was waiting for him was the news that the temple was about to be demolished.
