    Three Must-Read Workplace Fables – Dedicated to Every Reader Struggling in Reality and Sober Amidst Absurdity: Dear Reader, if you've just finished reading the three long articles, "Parallel Universe Express," "History Tutoring," and "Future Archaeological Site," you've surely already sensed that these aren't ordinary workplace stories; they're a mirror reflecting our true selves in reality. If you haven't started reading yet, then the following recommendations are your "entry guide." These three articles, seemingly absurd, are actually true; seemingly distant, are actually very close. They dissect the same question from three completely different perspectives—what are we busy with in our lives? --- Recommendation 1: "Parallel Universe Express" – Delivering a Package to Another Self. One-line Highlight: When you receive a letter from your "future self," would you dare to open it? Reason for Recommendation: This is a story about "choice." Wang Dawei, an ordinary person who has worked as a courier for eight years, receives a special mission—to deliver a package to "himself in another universe." He walks through the door and discovers that his "himself" in that universe is already a successful person with billions in assets. And that successful self is waiting for him. What was in the package? A letter. A letter from "yourself fifty years from now." The letter was filled with regret, remorse, warnings, and a deafening statement—"The greatest failure in life is not failure itself, but not even daring to try." The most touching part of this story isn't the parallel universe setting, nor the deliveryman's triumphant return, but the "team leader" forever stuck in the same place. He received the same letter thirty years ago, but didn't dare open it. Because he was afraid. Afraid that after seeing it, he would realize he had wasted his life. What about you? Would you dare open that letter? Would you dare face "your other self"? Suitable for: Anyone feeling lost in the workplace, wanting to change but afraid to. Anyone who asks themselves late at night, "Is this all my life will be like?" Reading time: Approximately 30 minutes. Post-reading aftermath: You might find yourself wondering—if I really received that letter, what would it say? --- Recommendation Two: *History Tutoring Class* – Ancient People Teaching Modern People. A key point: Confucius teaches you how to be a person, Lao Tzu teaches you how to lie low, Qin Shi Huang teaches you management, Li Bai teaches you how to drink – would you dare attend this tutoring class? Reason for recommendation: This is a story about "wisdom." Ma Qianli, vice president of a major internet company, considers himself successful but discovers he lacks "cultural knowledge." He enrolls in a special tutoring class – all the teachers are ancient figures: Confucius, Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, Han Feizi, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Empress Wu Zetian, Li Bai, Wang Yangming… Thirty teachers, thirty lessons, each lesson subjecting him to a thorough dressing-down. Confucius said he "reads annotations but not the original text, which is like eating someone else's leftovers"; Lao Tzu said he "works overtime every day and holds meetings every night, which is going against the grain"; Zhuangzi asked him, "Are you Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?"; Han Feizi criticized him, saying "the system only governs the lower levels and not the upper levels, so the law cannot stand"; Li Bai said his WeChat Moments were "not well-written because they lack genuine feelings"; Wang Yangming told him, "Knowing but not doing is the same as not knowing." After a month, Ma Qianli was awakened by the criticism. But the most interesting part of the story is not Ma Qianli's change, but the "project manager" Li Wenhua who accompanied him to class. He served these ancients every day, but never listened to their words. Until the end, he realized that the one who really needed to catch up was himself. What about you? Are you also busy with work, busy making money, busy coping with life, and never ask yourself: Do I need to catch up? What do I need to learn? What do I need to change? Suitable for: Everyone who feels they are "doing okay" but occasionally feels empty. For everyone who wants to learn something but doesn't know what to learn. Reading time: Approximately 35 minutes. Post-reading effects: You might want to dig out the *Analects*, *Tao Te Ching*, and *Instructions for Practical Living* and read them again—not to pretend to be cultured, but to catch up on your studies. --- Recommendation 3: *Future Archaeological Site*—People a thousand years in the future unearth your employee ID card. One-sentence highlight: When archaeologists from 3024 unearth your employee ID card, will they understand you? Recommendation reason: This is a story about "meaning." Zhang Wangbei, an archaeologist from 3024, leads an archaeological team to excavate the ruins of the 21st-century "Huanyu Technology Company." They unearth employee ID cards, coffee cups, fish tanks, cards, and a yellowed photograph. The AI ​​system generates a "perfect report," analyzing everything logically: 21st-century humans worship the "god of success," rely on caffeine to maintain their work, have obvious class stratification, and ultimately all go bankrupt… But Zhang Wangbei feels something is off. He looks at the employee ID card—it has a courier named "Wang Dawei" smiling at the camera. He looked at the card—it read "They're all gone," signed "Xiao Wang." He looked at the fish tank—inside was the skeleton of a fish, which had accompanied its owner through the toughest three years. The AI ​​saw the "objects," but it wanted to see the "people." It wanted to know: What was the deliveryman thinking every day? What were the feelings of the person who wrote the card when they wrote "They're all gone"? Was the fish really just a "pet"? The most striking aspect of this story is its "reverse perspective"—the "success" we strive for today might seem like "primitive religion" to people a thousand years from now. The life we ​​take for granted today might be incomprehensible to people a thousand years from now. But one thing will never change across millennia—people leave traces when they live. And those traces hold the proof that we truly lived. What about you? What do you leave for the future? Is it your employee ID? Your social media posts? The PPTs you stayed up all night writing? Or those moments you loved, hated, laughed, and cried? Suitable for: Everyone struggling with 996 work schedules, lost in KPIs, and suffocating in the "involution" of competition. For everyone who occasionally wonders, "What am I living for?" Reading time: Approximately 30 minutes. Aftermath: You might stare blankly at your work badge, want to write something for the future, and wonder—if someone digs me up a thousand years from now, how do I hope they understand me? --- Why are these three stories worth reading? Because they are mirrors. *Parallel Universe Express* reflects your "choices"—do you dare to change? *History Tutoring* reflects your "wisdom"—do you truly understand? *Future Archaeological Site* reflects your "meaning"—what have you left behind in your life? Because they are remedies. Not the kind of feel-good platitudes that tell you "stop worrying," but the kind of sobering agent that helps you see yourself clearly and then decide how to live your life. Because they are stories. They have warmth, humor, tears, and people. While reading, you will laugh; after reading, you will think. After thinking, you might have something different—not an answer, but a question. Not a direction, but reflection. Not a conclusion, but a beginning. And the beginning is everything. --- A Final Invitation Dear Reader, I have prepared these three articles for you. They are short, only 20,000 to 30,000 words each, and will take about the time it takes to eat a meal. But they may change some of your thoughts—about choices, about wisdom, about meaning. While reading, make a cup of tea, find a quiet place, and read slowly. After you finish reading, don't put it down immediately. Ask yourself: If I received a letter from the future, would I open it? If I needed to catch up on lessons, what would I most want to learn? If someone unearthed me a thousand years from now, what would I hope they would see? There are no standard answers to these three questions. But after asking them, you may live a little more clearly. A little more clarity is enough. --- Click the links below to begin your reading journey: "Parallel Universe Express"—Delivering a package to another version of yourself; "History Tutoring"—Ancient people teaching modern people; "Future Archaeological Site"—People a thousand years from now unearth your work badge. I'm waiting for you in the story. —Your other self.
