EXT. WANG ANCESTRAL SHRINE

- ENTRANCE -

NIGHT

Shixiang continues his walk, eventually arriving at the entrance of a small temple nestled in a quiet part of the city. The temple is modest in size, with a simple wooden gate and a small courtyard filled with carefully arranged stones and plants. Lanterns hang on either side of the entrance, casting a warm, inviting glow.

ANGLE ON: GATE

The temple gate is slightly ajar, and Shixiang gently pushes it open, stepping into the courtyard. The tranquility of the place is immediately apparent, a stark contrast to the tension he has just left behind.

WIDE SHOT: COURTYARD

The courtyard is empty, save for a few scattered offerings left by worshippers earlier in the day. The air is filled with the scent of burning incense, and the sound of a small water fountain adds to the peaceful ambiance.
