Judging from the name, all humans have immortality, but those who have done bad things will be deprived of their qualifications for immortality.

The logic is rigorous and self-consistent, making people unable to help but believe that the world is like this.

Five absurd fables, a warning in the workplace - a letter of recommendation to all dear readers: Hello. If you have ever been in a daze in front of the computer screen in the office where you worked overtime late at night, if you have been disturbed by the theatrical performance on the subway and your ears are ringing, if you have ever choked back what you wanted to say because of the sentence "Your Mandarin is not standard", if you have ever felt at a certain moment - the sound of this world seems to be not quite right. Then, these five stories are written for you. I am Fu Shuiheng. An old man who has been writing stories for half his life. Today, I want to use the simplest way to recommend to you the five stories in my series of "Funny Meanings Anthology" that have just been launched on Tomato Book Store. These stories were born from my observations of the workplace, technology, and human nature. They are absurd, yet heart-breaking; they are humorous, yet can silently silence you. Below, please allow me to introduce them to you one by one. The first article: "Onomatopoeia materializes" - When "Hua La La" really turns into water and splashes on your face. Have you ever thought that if one day you see the three words "Hua La La" on your mobile phone, water will really pour out of the screen? What if "Rumble" didn't just describe thunder, but actually made your floorboards shake? What if a clown doll really pops out of your mouth with a "poof" of laughter? This is not magic, this is the "onomatopoeia project" developed by Shengtian Technology Company - a technology that can turn all onomatopoeia into reality. The protagonist of the story, Zhao Youcai, is the most inconspicuous content operator in the company. During his eight years at the company, he learned one of the most important workplace skills: sleeping with his eyes open during meetings. However, when the "Onomatopoeia Project" began to be tested internally, everything got out of control - someone was splashed with water droplets on his face by the sound of the keyboard while typing, someone posted in the group "The performance is going to explode" and a ball of confetti actually exploded, someone said "Too damn cute" and a little boy doll appeared in front of them. Absurd? Absurd. But what's even more absurd is that this technology, which is full of loopholes, was forcibly pushed to millions of users because the boss did not want to bear the sunk cost. The backdoor program hidden deep in the code is silently collecting the energy of every false trigger, waiting for the "Judgment Day" to come. After reading this story, you will see: · The absurd decision-making chain of "having to eat shit even if you know it is shit" in the workplace · When technology goes out of control, how ordinary people survive in the cracks · A cautionary fable that will make you laugh until your stomach hurts and give you chills on the back. Part 2: "Noise Pollution Court" - When the sound of typing on the keyboard makes you stand in the dock Have you ever complained that your colleague's mechanical keyboard is too noisy? Have you ever been driven to the point of collapse by the phone calls at the workstation next door? Have you ever been kept awake by the drama played on your phone during your lunch break? But if one day, someone takes you to court because of these noises - a "noise pollution court" where the AI ​​system acts as the judge - what will you do? This happened to Zhao Youcai. He was sued by his former colleague Li Xiaomao on the grounds that "he continued to make high-decibel keyboard tapping noises during work, causing the plaintiff to suffer from tinnitus, insomnia, and lack of concentration." The "presiding judge" in the court is a former technical director, the plaintiff's lawyer is a former legal officer of the company, and sitting in the auditorium are "old acquaintances" with ulterior motives. And the slogan on the wall - "Quietness is the highest order" - is trembling slightly, as if waiting for the next prey. When Zhao Youcai peeled back the truth behind this case layer by layer in court, he discovered a bigger secret: real noise can never be measured by a decibel meter. After reading this story, you will see: · A ridiculous and suffocating court showdown · How "order" is packaged as another kind of violence · When silence becomes an accomplice, how can ordinary people break the cycle Part 3: "Voice Assistant Accent" - When your dialect is sentenced to death by AI "Lingxi Lingxi." "Sorry, your voice cannot be recognized. Please use standard Mandarin." Zhao Youcai went to an AI voice company for an interview, but was told by the interviewer: "The system did not recognize that you were calling it - it was the air conditioner noise that triggered the response." There was only one reason: he was from Fujian. What he said "Lingxi" was heard by the system as "Lixi". And another data is even more shocking - the training corpus of Lingxi Voice comes from 2,300 college students across the country, all from double first-class universities. Of the 1.4 Billion people in China, less than 0.2% Are "represented" by this corpus. The remaining 99.9% Of people are "dirty data" in the eyes of the algorithm. An old mother from Shaoyang was asked by the market to "repeat it three times" because of her accent, and she never dared to speak in public. A Sichuan grandmother felt that her dialect was "embarrassing" in front of her granddaughter until her death. A Peking University graduate who scored 97.3 In Mandarin spent twenty years flattening his local accent, only to find that he had just climbed from one mountain to another. Read this story and you will see: · The cultural power hidden behind technological "standards" · How people rejected by algorithms learn to shut up step by step · A technological affirmative movement that allows 1.4 Billion voices to be heard Article 4: "Sound Portrait Painter" – When your voice paints your face If there was a machine that could paint a picture of your face just by listening to you speak—not just your facial features, but also the bags under your eyes from late nights, the masseter muscles you clenched when you repressed your anger, every tiny scar on your vocal cords from years of swallowing your grievances back—would you let it listen? Lingxi Intelligent's voiceprint portrait prototype can do this. It extracts not only the shape of the vocal organs from the sound, but also all the emotional indentations hidden in the language of the speaker. An ostracized colleague who never spoke a word, but whose masseter muscles in the portrait were twenty percent larger than those of a normal woman, chewed up all her objections and swallowed them back. The tone of a middle-aged man was as smooth as ironed sheets, but the negligible half-degree dip at the end of each sentence revealed his exhaustion from being drained of energy in the garage every Friday. However, the original code for this technology came from a long-defunct research institute. Its creator once tried to use sound to reconstruct the faces of burn patients, but stopped forever after an experimental subject tore up his own portrait. Buried in the code was an apology that didn't arrive. When investors wanted to turn this technology into voiceprint door locks for high-net-worth customers, a group of people stood up—not to seal it, but to give it back to those who really needed it. After reading this story, you will see: · How a black technology that can "hear souls" is abused and redeemed · The invisible scars and tolerance behind language · A profound fable about "being seen" and "accepted" Chapter 5: "Silent Tour Group" - When "forced silence" is packaged as healing. Speech is prohibited throughout the entire process. It lasts seven days. Free. This is a flyer for "Silent Tour". The organizer is Zhao Youcai's "old friend" - the former vice president Wang Jianguo who survived the onomatopoeic engineering accident. He repackaged the remaining modules of the Foley system and opened an "Acoustic Environment Experience Center" in a dock warehouse. Twenty people from all walks of life signed a "voluntary silent agreement", handed over all electronic equipment, and lived in a completely soundproof cabin. There is only one rule: making noise is forbidden. Three violations will trigger "forced mute auxiliary measures". The agreement stated - "The specific measures will be determined by the system, and the organizer reserves the right of final interpretation." At first, everyone thought it was easy not to speak for seven days. Until someone was warned for saying "the soup is too light", someone laughed in a dream and triggered the second assistance, someone tried to exit early but found that all the doors had turned into walls, and a woman was deprived of laughter for too long and only made one breath when she finally took it back: "Ha". The group of people slowly realized in silence that they were not here to "detoxify." They are here to be trained to be dumb. After reading this story, you will see: · How forced silence in the name of "healing" turns into violence · The collapse and rebirth of twenty ordinary people in absolute silence · A cautionary fable about the "right to speak" that is never taken for granted Five stories, one theme These five stories are independent, but share the same spiritual clue—— When technology crosses the boundaries of ethics, when power is cloaked in warmth, when "standards" begin to define who can be heard, who should shut up, who complies with norms, and who is "dirty data" - where should ordinary people stand? Absurdity is the outer layer of these stories, and humor is their flesh and blood, but what is wrapped inside are the real dilemmas that everyone may face. You may laugh after reading it, or you may remain silent while laughing. After the silence, you may want to call the people you care about and say something that you thought was pretentious before but later found to be very important. If you read any of these articles while working overtime late at night, please recommend it to your colleagues who are staying up late with you to revise their needs. If you laugh out loud at a scene on the subway and attract other people's attention - that's exactly what I want. Regarding how to find these stories, dear friends, all the above five stories are now available on Tomato Bookstore. Please open the Tomato Bookstore APP and search for the keyword "Selected Collection of Funny Meanings" or the author's name "Fu Shuiheng" to find the complete series of stories. Special note: Please look for the user ID "26182811" - this is our own author Mr. Fu Shuiheng himself. Don't search wrongly. Finally, I have a very important thing to ask you all. I am an old man who only picked up writing after retirement. The original intention of writing these stories is simple - I have something to say and some thoughts that I want more people to see. Wrapping a serious core with an absurd shell is because I think it is more useful to make people laugh and think than to preach with a straight face. Every time you read, it is fuel for me to continue creating. Each of your messages is the motivation for me to type the next word. So, if you are touched after reading a certain story - even if you just think "this programmer Sun Fan looks like the one next to our workstation" - please leave your words in the book review area. A sentence, a word, or even an emoji will do. Every piece of warmth you leave behind is a charge for this old author to continue galloping on the battlefield of imagination. Your praise is Mr. Fu Shuiheng's charge. Your encouragement is Mr. Fu Shuiheng's creative energy. Your feelings - even a simple "I'm done" - mean a lot to me. As storytellers of our generation, what we fear most is not criticism, but silence. Because silence means no one is listening. And as long as there is one person listening, this story is worth continuing. Thank you. Finally, I sincerely thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to read Mr. Fu Shuiheng's words. I know there are too many things competing for your attention now - short videos, hot searches, live broadcasts, variety shows, and various push notifications. In such an era, choosing to calm down and read a story of more than 20,000 words is a luxury choice in itself. Thank you for giving me this luxury of time. Thank you for tolerating an old guy's absurd ideas. Thank you for being willing to join me in this noisy world - to listen to the voices that should not be ignored. Remember, search for "Fu Shuiheng" or "Selected Funny Meanings" on Tomato Book Store and look for the author ID 26182811. See you in our story. Sincerely, Fu Shuiheng Spring of 2026, in Shenzhen
