    Five sonic epics, one soul resonance - Tomato Bookstore is waiting for you. Dear friends, I have just finished coding these five steaming stories, and my fingertips are still feeling the warmth of the keyboard, and I can't wait to share this fantasy feast about "sound" with you. These five stories are not isolated chapters, but a carefully constructed "sound universe". Their protagonists are the most ordinary people in the city - maybe you or me, the young man wearing headphones in a daze on the subway, the grandmother bargaining in dialect at the vegetable market, the migrant worker who is overwhelmed by life and has only a buzzing sound in his ears. Each part is an independent chapter, but they quietly reflect each other. When you read them in order, you will find that: in those voices that you have ignored, there is a part of yourself that you have never listened to carefully. --- Part One: "City Sound Map" - When the sound system of the entire city collapses, you will hear the real heartbeat of the city. Have you ever thought about what would happen if one day, all the pre-recorded "standard sounds" in the city were messed up - the keyboard tapping in the financial district turned into sad music, the hospital's screams ran into the park, and the background music in the funeral home turned into the shouts of shopping malls. Ma Xiaotiao, an ordinary clerk who had been working in the Sound Planning Bureau for three years and whose only skill he had learned was to hold meetings with his eyes open, accidentally broke down the city's sound fingerprint system. What followed was not the end of his career, but a grotesque experiment that forced an entire city to take off its "standard" headphones. When the live broadcast camera of the urban channel is focused on the loop of "200 minus 50" played in front of the funeral home, and when netizens put the misplaced urban sounds on the hot search, you will find that the "norms" and "orders" we are forced to listen to on weekdays turn out to be so ridiculous from beginning to end. What this story wants to ask you is not only "what is the real sound of the city", but also - how long has it been since you heard the truth that is not planned or defined? ---Part 2: "Tinnitus Symphony Orchestra" - What lives in your ears is not a mosquito, it is a song of resistance that has been swallowed for too long. This story is dedicated to everyone who is facing the computer, PPT, and endless revision plans late at night, and suddenly finds that there is a mosquito living in his ear that cannot be driven away. After the musician Song Zhiyin finished revising Party A's "It doesn't feel right" for the third time one early morning, there was a never-ending buzzing in her right ear. The doctor told him: "There is nothing wrong with it. You will get used to it gradually." But he was not willing to accept it. What's even more bizarre is that he found that he could hear the sound of other people's tinnitus - it was not an ordinary noise, but the endless "receipt" of programmers, the click of layers that designers were repeatedly returned by Party A, and the roar of looms that had not stopped in the ears of old textile workers for twenty years. So he formed an unprecedented orchestra and composed everyone's tinnitus into a symphony. On the day of the premiere, when the suppressed pain spread from the stage to the square, the audience stood up one after another, pointed to their ears, and nodded silently - that was not a concert, that was a collective redemption and confession. After reading it, you will understand that the sounds in your ears that cannot be turned off are all stories that you have not yet had time to tell. --- Part 3: "Silent Auction" -- When silence becomes a luxury item that requires bidding, human life becomes the starting price. This is the sharpest and most heartbreaking chapter in the entire sound universe. The Sound Planning Bureau discovered that they could control noise, but not silence. So silence was defined as a "non-renewable scarce resource" and was auctioned in front of the public. The early morning silence outside the ICU was filmed by a middle-aged woman who was about to collapse outside her husband's ward with her life savings. In another auction, an old man who was tortured by the footsteps upstairs and suffered a nervous breakdown emptied his pockets just to win a night's sleep. When silence becomes a privilege, when silence has a price tag, when "not being disturbed" becomes a luxury for the poor - the greatest injustice in the world is not that one cannot afford a house, but that one has to bid with one's life for a complete night's sleep. This story will make you laugh out loud and fall silent for a long time. It asks: In an era where even silence can be exchanged for money, do your ears still belong to you? --- Part 4: "Sound Memory Bank" -- Here, silence can also be deposited into an account, and compound interest is every time you are heard. If there was a bank where deposits were not money, but the most important voices in your life -- what would you be willing to deposit in it? An old lady saved the last words of her late husband's instructions before his death. The date of the save was written "forever". A programmer deposited 365 days of silence while sitting in a rental house after working overtime in the early morning, but was rejected by the counter on the grounds that "silence is not sound." Bank manager Jiang Lin, more than ten years after his grandmother passed away, still can't remember the last three words his grandmother wanted to say when the monitor's alarm stopped. When the rejected programmer covers his silence file with a scream, when the sound bank announces that "Silence is also memory" after making a big mistake of overstepping his authority, when a special section called "Rejected Complaint Book" quietly goes online - you find that those words that have been swallowed back in reality finally have a place to be buried and reborn here. This story tells us: the interest of memory is not money, but the depth of understanding. --- Part 5: "Dialect Protection Plan" -- When the algorithm starts to "correct" your grandmother's accent, you will know what cultural violence is. The Weitou dialect is an ancient language with seven tones and thirteen "fish" expressions. The last inheritor is an 87-year-old old woman. She has been corrected countless times in her life - neighbors said she spoke an alien language, her son told her not to speak in front of her colleagues, and the hospital registration office asked her to speak Mandarin. Now, even a tone correction algorithm developed by an outsourcing company dares to "optimize" her six tones into the standard four Mandarin tones. What's even more despairing is that when she was trying her best to apply for the intangible cultural heritage status for Weitou dialect, a red-headed document came down - speaking of dialects is prohibited at the city's public service windows. Ma Xiaotiao found that while he was saving an endangered dialect with one hand, he was using the same system to eliminate it with the other hand. In addition to the aura of the Weitou dialect, there are also the nine tones of the Lan language, the boatman's chant of Chengchuan, the memorial speech of Tongsha... Those languages ​​that have not even been included in the census list are heading towards extinction in silence. The sign of a civilization is not how many people speak the same standard language, but how many different accents it can accommodate to live at the same time. After you finish reading, and hear any Mandarin with an accent, your ears will develop new respect. --- [Breaking good news: Tomato Bookstore is now online! Dear friends, these five stories, each with nearly 20,000 words, are all ready to go in Tomato Book Store, just waiting to be opened by your fingertips!

A story has 20,000 words, and five parts have nearly 100,000 words. These 100,000 words contain the countless late nights he spent, the true pulse he retrieved from the smoke and neon lights, and every word of heartache and tenderness he wanted to say to the world. Therefore, after reading the story, whether it is a sentence of reflection or a simple "good-looking", please feel free to leave it in the comment area. Your words are the charge that Mr. Fu Shuiheng continues to create. There is nothing like "someone is reading" to make a writer feel that every word he writes in a long night has a resonance. Just like what Granny Xu, who lives alone in "Sound Memory Bank", spreads out the vocabulary book of Weitou dialect that she has used for sixty years on her knees, and whispers into the recorder - "The young man from outside who listens to me, my yellow cat is also named Wulinzai." You are the one who is listening. --- Finally, I would like to sincerely thank every reader who took time out of their busy schedule to read this 100,000-word journey. It is you who make this ocean of words no longer an isolated island. Now, go to Tomato Book Store and search for those five names. Keep your ears open and let the sounds enter the sea.
