Siheyuan: Living a Free and Carefree Life

A middle-aged man in the 22nd century had spent more than fifty years striving, yet still had nothing to show for it. At nearly fifty, he was riddled with illnesses from the relentless rat race he had thrown himself into when he was young. In the end, on a lonely night, he passed away peacefully in his shabby rented room. As his life ebbed away, he looked back on his life and told himself that if he ever had another, he would never drive himself so ruthlessly again.
