   1️⃣ "The House"|Behind that bloody door, there is my broken and reborn soul. My fingertips still remember the temperature of that door - sticky and warm, like blood that has not yet solidified. When I was thrown onto the driverless bus, I thought it was just another nightmare. It wasn't until I sat down by the fire pit in the hut and listened to the hoarse voice of my senior: "Welcome to... The real world." I didn't know that we were not cursed. We are the blind people who have finally opened our eyes. Every time I pushed open the blood door, fear poured into my lungs like cold water. But what is more profound than fear is the tremor of being "close to the truth." My friend, if you hear something else whispering in the wind and rain at night... Come and sit with me. This fire can illuminate more things. --- 2️⃣ "Notes on Grave Robbers of the Northern School"|My whole life, I have been buried in the soil. When I was twenty-one years old, I dug the first grave with my own hands. The soil is cold, but poverty is even colder. Later I understood that the deepest tomb in the world is not underground, but in the human heart. I have touched jade from the Liao and Jin Dynasties, pillowed on porcelain from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and shared the last pot of water with my brothers in the tomb passage. The more wine you drink, the warmer you become, and the blood becomes lighter and weaker as you drink. Now I sit here and tell you one by one about the strange people I have met and the strange things I have experienced over the years. It's not a show off, it's a confession, it's a memorial. Pay homage to those who remain in the soil forever, and pay homage to the young self who was also buried. Do you want to listen? This world is very important.
