Tangshan, 1976. Two seven-year-old twins are buried under the rubble of the deadliest earthquake of the 20th century.

Directed by Feng Xiaogang. Starring Xu Fan, Zhang Jingchu, Wang Ziwen, Chen Daoming and Jerry Lee.
Lyradrift plots Aftershock as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
