The restorer touched the fragment of the Five Dynasties scroll with his fingertips, and saw a woman from the Republic of China sinking into the cold pool of the West Lake. When "thermoluminescence" captures the modern pigments hidden in the painting, and when the legend of "soul possession" in ancient books becomes a fig leaf for smugglers, she uses carbon 14 as a blade to open up the mystery of reincarnation. In the symphony of the ancient rhyme of the pipa and the buzzing of the instrument, she proved that what protects history is not the nonsense of fate, but the truth that will never fade under the scientific scale. A journey of restoration that subverts cognition, a complete victory of technology over metaphysics.
