    Reader note

    The blank space of "my favorite game as a child" can be called a subtle narrative hook. It not only hints at the childhood utopia built by the seven sisters and the protagonist, but also foreshadows the subsequent conflicts-when the rules of the adult world crush the innocent agreement, will those game rules become the password for redemption? The contrast between Lu Yun's thin figure and the noisy city is like a small portrayal of an individual under the wheel of modernization. The absence of the "sister" group portrait gives readers a hint of the smoke of unpredictable fate in anticipation.
