People Are Like Grass

[Chaotic times + natural and man-made disasters + fleeing famine] The later part consists of standalone stories.

The world sees only the splendor of a golden age, while those rich in power and privilege lose themselves in dreams of indulgence. Beauties and landscapes are picture-perfect.

Tales tell of talented men and lovely women finding their perfect match, a pair of immortals made for each other.

Heroes and champions contend for supremacy, their spirit soaring like tigers across ten thousand miles.

But no one sees the bloodcurdling cries and countless hardships hidden beneath the chaos.

Dear readers, the story I'm telling today has no princes or ministers, no talented men and lovely women. It shows only the parts of a world in chaos that are too painful to look at. Once you've finished reading, I don't think you'll ever want to transmigrate to ancient times.
