This is a story of youth without redemption, a documentary of survival in an emotional vacuum. When pain becomes data, when death becomes a research topic, when love becomes a hypothesis to be tested, how do we define "living"? How can one identify the last mark of his past as a human being on that ice sheet of absolute nothingness?
"I'm not feeling the pain, I'm just recording it."
"And the record itself, is it the most desperate resistance that human beings can do?"
This work uses cold scalpel-like brushwork to dissect the essence of youth, pain and existence. If you have ever been shocked by the power of calm confrontation with fate in "Alive", touched by the sense of alienation from the world in "The Outsider", or attracted by the entanglement of youth and death in "Norwegian Wood", then Chen Shuying's story will lead you to a more extreme and sophisticated psychological reality.
She is not a hero, not a victim, not even a "character" in the traditional sense.
She is a mirror that reflects the heart-stopping, pure "cognition" itself when humans are stripped of all feelings. And in that absolute cold, any tiny bit of temperature is enough to burn the soul.
"Welcome to Chen Shuying's observation station. Please stay quiet, data is being generated."
