Title: "Above the Sandbox: Guardians of the Miniature World"
Introduction to the work:
Chen Mo, an ordinary social worker, unexpectedly received an anonymous courier, which contained an exquisite sand table as big as a palm. At first, he just thought it was a low-quality toy, until late at night he was attracted by the faint "movement" coming from the sand table - there was actually a fully functioning miniature country "Aria" in the sand table, which was being brutally invaded by the northern barbarians "Blackstone Tribe". Although the people of the southern farming city-states clung to their homes, they were on the verge of destruction due to the huge disparity in force.
Out of reluctance, Chen Mo tried to throw the leftover instant noodles into the sand tray. In the eyes of the Aria people, this became a "granary from heaven"; the dripping cold white Kai turned into a "spring of life"; and even the dropped egg shells and toothpicks became "gods" that could change the situation of the war in their eyes. Chen Mo intervenes in the war as a "giant", but gradually discovers that his "goodwill" may break the balance of the world. The barbarians regard him as a "demon who controls the war situation", and the Aryan people's over-reliance on "gods" is also eroding their own courage.
In the end, Chen Mo chose to put away the "charity" and instead guided them to use their own wisdom to fight against the aggression from the perspective of a bystander. The war in the sandbox became a mirror for him to re-examine his life; and the people in the miniature world also walked out their own path of justice under the silent gaze of the "giant".
