Uses the characters of Heibai Wuchang, meaning "Black and White Impermanence," whom are two guardian deities in Chinese folk religion and mythology. As subordinates of King Yan, the ruler of the underworld, they lead the spirits of the dead to the afterlife.

The video depicts multiple scenes of common things people may do in their households which may result in fire and fatality in severe cases.

The video is in chinese, but here's our attempt to translate into English.

++ Scene 1: Kitchen Cooking Fire ++
Woman: Ah! Fire, fire, fire!
White Impermanence (Deity): Hello.
Woman: What are you doing?!
White Impermanence: We're here to collect you.
Woman: I’m just putting out a fire, surely it's not that serious?
White Impermanence: If you splash this basin of water on it, the fire will flare up and you'll come straight down. Perfectly timed, the Underworld canteen is short a chef.
Woman: Don't collect me! I'll change! (Turns off stove, covers pan with lid) Cancel the order!
White Impermanence: Cancelled. But what about the Underworld canteen now?
Black Impermanence: Order food delivery. The address: Naihe Bridge.
On-Screen Safety Tip: If oil catches fire in a pan, you can pour in fresh room-temperature oil or cover it with a lid. Never try to blow it out or use water to extinguish it.

++ Scene 2: Phone Charging in Bed ++
White Impermanence: Hello.
Woman: You two again?!
White Impermanence: You just placed another order over here.
Woman: I can't even sleep now?!
White Impermanence: Charging your phone and smothering it under your pillow... Are you planning to sleep for the night, or sleep for the rest of your life?
Woman: Don't collect me! I'll change! (Unplugs/moves phone) Cancel the order!
White Impermanence: Cancelled. Both orders went south today. Her safety awareness is up, our performance metrics are down.
On-Screen Safety Tip: Do not smother phones while charging.

++ Scene 3: Microwave Metal Sparking ++
Man: Hey, why is it on fire?!
White Impermanence: Hello.
Man: Who are you?
White Impermanence: Here to collect you.
Man: I was just heating up food, surely it's not that serious?
White Impermanence: The spoon is still inside. The sparks have already urged us to collect your order.
Man: Can't I just open it and check?
White Impermanence: It's already burning inside. As soon as you open the door and air enters, the fire will burst straight out. You open the microwave door, and we open the Underworld's gates.
Man: Don't collect me! I'll change! (Unplugs microwave) Cancel the order!
White Impermanence: Cancelled. How are we supposed to explain this order?
Black Impermanence: Business as usual—just say nobody answered the door.
On-Screen Safety Tip: Do not place metal utensils, aluminum foil, or containers with metallic trim in a microwave. If a microwave sparks or catches fire: immediately cut the power and keep the microwave door closed.

++ Scene 4: Wet Hands on Electrical Plug ++
White Impermanence: Hello.
Man: What now?!
White Impermanence: Look at that: hands are wet, socket is live. The second you plug it in, we pick you up.
Man: Don't collect me! I'll change! (Dries hands with towel) Cancel the order!
White Impermanence: Cancelled. How do we report this order?
Black Impermanence: Just say the connection failed.
On-Screen Safety Tip: Never touch plugs with wet hands. Always dry your hands thoroughly before using electrical appliances.

++ Scene 5: E-Bike Battery Indoors ++
White Impermanence: Hello.
Man: What are you doing?
White Impermanence: Here to collect you.
Man: Oh... Wait a second, you collect people, not battery packs!
White Impermanence: It's because of the battery pack that we're here. If you charge this inside your home, our orders are going to explode! Charging a battery at home is boosting our performance metrics!
Man: Don't collect me! I'll change! I'll take it downstairs to the central charging station right now!
White Impermanence: Queuing to charge downstairs is always better than your whole family queuing to report to the Underworld. Cancel the order!
On-Screen Safety Tip: Never bring electric bike batteries indoors to charge.

++ Scene 6: Bed Smoking ++
White Impermanence: Hello.
Man: Why is it you two again?!
White Impermanence: It's fine, carry on. We'll wait until the spark drops.
Man: Don't collect me! I'll change! (Puts out cigarette)
White Impermanence: That order we just cancelled almost got reopened.
On-Screen Safety Tip: Tianjin Fire Department reminds you: Smoking in bed is strictly prohibited.

++ Scene 7: Court of the Underworld ++
King Yanluo (Judge of the Dead): How audacious, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu! Repeatedly taking it upon yourselves to warn the living and ruining the Underworld's strict rules—what punishment do you deserve?!
White Impermanence: My Lord, please calm your anger! Didn't they all fix their ways in the end?
King Yanluo: You were sent to collect souls, not to give advice!
White Impermanence: Yes, yes, My Lord is right. We know our mistake.
King Yanluo: The two of you shall perform your duties while bearing your guilt! (Hands over a long scroll of names)
White Impermanence: So many?!
King Yanluo: Keep it clear this time: you are only allowed to collect souls, not to advise them. And absolutely do not let the living see their own end in advance!
Both Impermanence: Yes!

++ Scene 8: Building Corridor Fire ++
Man: My bike! It's on fire! Why is it you two again?! Quick, save us!
White Impermanence: We aren't responsible for saving people, only collecting them.
Black Impermanence: Trying to save a little trouble in everyday life... when a fire breaks out, it takes away your exit first.
Man: Don't collect me! I'll change!
Black Impermanence: Changing now is too late. (Opens Death Ledger)

++ Scene 9: Back to Reality (Vision Ends) ++
Man: Just now... was that what you let me see? You... saved us?
Black Impermanence: Not yet. The bike is still standing right there.
Man: Right! (Moves e-bike out of the building)
White Impermanence: You let a living person see his own end in advance...
Black Impermanence: Mm.
White Impermanence: The Boss specifically warned us about this. This is no small matter.
Black Impermanence: As long as everyone is safe, it's fine.

++ Scene 10: Ending in Court ++
King Yanluo: Xie Bi'an, step down.
White Impermanence: My Lord, actually, about that matter... I also...
King Yanluo: Fan Wujiu, step down!
Final On-Screen Message: Tianjin Fire Department reminds you: Keep fire safety knowledge firmly in mind, and never take fire safety lightly.
