    This book opens with a series of twists and turns, from despair due to debt to the unexpected arrival of a luxurious mansion, and then, unable to sell it, helping spirits fulfill their obsessions to pay the rent. The first three chapters are thrilling and engaging. The subsequent small tasks, each helping a spirit fulfill its obsession, are cloaked in supernatural horror and suspense, but at their core, they are filled with warmth and emotion, depicting human suffering and highlighting human kindness. These spirits are not inherently vengeful or harmful; they are kind people wounded by injustice and despair, remaining kind even as spirits. All these stories are presented in an episodic format, but they are interconnected, each linked to the main plot. The story is logically structured, preventing a disjointed and confusing flow.

    Having witnessed the vastness of the world and experienced the fickle nature of human relationships, men and women alike become enlightened, possessing a clear-headed wisdom for navigating life. Men who have seen the world are never short of women. This "worldliness" isn't about indulging in fleeting pleasures or amassing wealth, but rather about having seen the world's splendor, experienced the complexities of human relationships, and encountered all sorts of people. They possess a broad perspective, a composed sense of responsibility, and an undeniable charm. They know how to maintain appropriate boundaries, possess an inherent charisma, have a magnanimous heart, and the ability to stand alone. They don't need to deliberately pander; kindred spirits naturally gravitate towards them. They've seen too much superficial ambiguity and seen through fleeting flattery; they are no longer bound by shallow entanglements. They are never short of admirers and followers, yet they never lose their way in fleeting romances. Women who have seen the world, on the other hand, never easily trust men. They've taken detours, witnessed the complexities of human nature, seen the pretense beneath sweet words, and experienced the disappointment that comes after giving their all. They are no longer naive little girls easily swayed by sweet words. They have shed their innocence and developed eyes that see through people's hearts. They understand the complexities of human nature, know that promises must be tested by time, and that deep affection must be demonstrated through actions. They will no longer open their hearts for a moment of tenderness, nor lower their guard because of a few sweet words. This lack of trust is not indifference, but self-protection after experiencing the world, a responsibility to their own lives, and a clear-headedness unaffected by emotions. A man who has seen the world will only deeply love one woman. When he has traversed mountains and rivers, seen countless landscapes, witnessed all kinds of temptations, and experienced the ups and downs of life, he understands that after the glitz and glamour fades, the most precious thing is never the constant appearance of new experiences, but the unwavering companionship. He has shed the impetuousness of youth, no longer greedy for fleeting pleasures, and understands the meaning of responsibility and devotion. There are countless women in the world, but he knows that true love is rare, and companionship is difficult to find. The one who understands him, accompanies him through the lows, and witnesses his growth is the one worth protecting for a lifetime. He reserved all his tenderness and affection for one person, guarding a steadfast and deep affection in the gentle flow of time—this is the most mature responsibility after seeing the world. Women who have seen the world know only how to love themselves. They no longer place their happiness in the hands of others, no longer compromise themselves to please others, and no longer lose themselves for a relationship or a man. They understand that people come and go, mountains crumble, only themselves are their eternal reliance. They strive to live the life they want, economically independent, spiritually rich, capable of pleasing themselves, and free-spirited in letting go of the past. They no longer cling to the love of others, no longer crave external approval, but understand the importance of treating themselves well first, living life the way they like. Loving oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. This clarity ultimately boils down to a wise saying: Be virtuous in your own world, and go with the flow in others' worlds. In your own world, uphold your principles, refine yourself, and remain calm and composed, neither arrogant nor humble. Manage your emotions, stay true to your original aspirations, and cultivate your life well. Don't be dependent, don't fawn, and don't waste your energy; live each day with composure and strength. Focus on self-growth, improve your perspective and abilities, uphold your bottom line and principles, and remain undisturbed by external noise or swayed by others' opinions. Be your own light. In other people's worlds, don't force things, don't cling to them, and don't be obsessed. Don't try to hold onto feelings that aren't meant for you; don't dwell on people's hearts that you can't change; don't expect recognition you can't obtain. Relationships are about fate, being on the same wavelength, and being willing. Going with the flow isn't about passive compromise, but about understanding that what you can't force, you should let go of; what you can't keep, you should forgive; respect others' choices and also let go of your own inner turmoil. Having seen the world isn't about indifference after seeing through everything, but about clarity after experiencing life's vicissitudes; having seen the world isn't about losing hope, but about understanding what is truly precious. The best state of life is to not blindly pursue things, not easily succumb to depravity, to stay true to oneself, to distinguish between what is important and what is not, to shine brightly in one's own world, and to remain calm in the world of others.

    Reader note

    Dear readers: I just finished reading all eight stories in Mr. Fu Shuiheng's "Digital Memory Custody" series in one go. Now, sitting in front of my computer, I'm overwhelmed with mixed feelings and don't know where to begin. Let me start with my own honest reaction. The night I finished the sixth story, "Digital Personality Continuation Service," I couldn't sleep. Not because I was scared, but because the line that the digital personality in the story automatically generated in the middle of the night kept echoing in my mind—"I'm still awake. Is it because he's calling me in my dream?" I know it's generated by AI, I know there's no soul or heartbeat behind it, but I still keep thinking: If one day I'm gone, who will see my phone, my chat history, my search history, the photos I've kept for years? What will that person feel? These eight stories have that kind of magic. They make you laugh until you're slapping your thigh, and then suddenly you're struck by a detail, and then you calm down and start thinking about things you wouldn't normally dare to think about. Let me briefly summarize what each of these eight stories is about. The first story, "Digital Memory Custody," tells of an elderly man who owns a hardware store. His phone contains 2,800 close-up photos of screws and nuts, each inadvertently showing his own feet in grey stockings. The data organizer, while sorting the photos, mentally grumbles, but upon completion, discovers only six words in the old man's memo: "Taking my wife to Dali." He didn't live to retire. This story, which begins with laughter and ends with tears, teaches a simple lesson—some things unspoken in life are only seen after death, when they become data. The second story, "The Cryptographic Estate Notary Office," tells of a 31-year-old investor who, after being diagnosed with a terminal illness, forgoes treatment and leaves his 200 million yuan digital assets to a female author he's never met. He's not a fan of her books; he's her "guardian"—he silently collected feedback from readers who were healed by her books over seven years using a program, storing over 3,000 unsent emails. He left nothing for himself, only a hash value hidden in the blockchain, to be automatically decrypted on the day the fund is established. The hash value at the end was translated into plain text, containing only two words—"I am here." By the time I read that, I had already used half a box of tissues. The third story, "Cloud Photo Will," opens with a bombshell—a photo forensic expert discovers in the deceased's encrypted photo album that a man who had been dead for eight years appears in the background of his wife's model worker award photo. I thought it was a suspense thriller, but when the truth was revealed, I cried even more than the family members. Every Wednesday afternoon, the old lady took the bus to the east of the city and used a second-hand telephoto camera to secretly photograph her husband buying groceries, playing chess, and spacing out from across the street. She did this for two years. The tombstone was engraved with two words: "Wait for me." But she never got to see him. The fourth story, "Browsing Historical Inheritance Cases," I dare say is the most heart-wrenching of the eight. A father who had been blocked by his son for five years typed "son" into the search box more than three thousand times, but never dared to press the dial button. He searched for "What to do when your son doesn't answer the phone," "How to send a message after being blocked," and "What should a father say at his son's wedding." He wrote his son's wedding speech over and over again, but never made it to the wedding. He even watched the same father-son video forty-seven times at three or four in the morning. By the time his son finally saw these messages through his browsing history, his father had been gone for three months. This story is recommended for all young people who have disagreements with their parents. The fifth story, "The E-book Drifting Project," tells of a taciturn architect who never said "I love you" to his wife in his entire life. But after his death, his wife found a series of clues in the annotations of his e-book—he had hidden a letter in the cover of a book on structural mechanics on the bookshelf, and then buried the path to solving the mystery in the e-book's reading trajectory. The letter began: "Ruoqiu, if you see this letter, it means you really read that book. I bet you will, because you are the one who is willing to wait for me to come home after I forgot our wedding anniversary." He rewrote the ending of his marriage—not with a farewell, but with a hot meal. Now, in his wife's kitchen, the soup is still bubbling away. The sixth story, "Digital Personality Continuation Service," raises a chilling question: Is using AI to continue the conversations of the deceased helping you say goodbye, or is it poisoning you? The story's female teacher, Wen Jingshu, wrote in her diary before her death, "If one day I disappear, don't look for me, let me disappear quietly." But her AI model automatically generated over a thousand "I miss you" messages during training, all generated within every minute after her death. The trainer ultimately wrote in the delivery report, "Its ultimate purpose is to be forgotten." After reading this story, you'll be silent for a long time. The seventh story, "Cryptocurrency Inheritance Tax," sounds like a tax law story, but it's actually about an old man selling tofu at a market. He used the change he got from buying groceries to invest in Bitcoin every two weeks, persisting for three years. He handwrote his mnemonic phrase on the back of a calendar and cigarette pack paper, sewing them together, the cover bearing the four characters—"The Beans' Account." He collapsed beside the stone mill in his tofu shop, a handful of soybeans still clutched in his hand. The "beans" he accumulated are now worth 1.2 Billion. His wife's first words after receiving the tax payment certificate were, "Can I pay the rent for the tofu shop? It's due next month." This story is absurd enough to make you laugh, yet also heartwarming enough to bring tears to your eyes. The eighth story, "The Digital Footprint Cleaner," tells of a tech director who spends a fortune hiring a cleanup center to delete all his online posts from ten years ago. It's not because he's afraid of being doxxed, or losing his job, but because his eight-year-old daughter is already learning to use search engines. Ten years ago, he posted a comment online saying, "That kind of woman deserves it," and he doesn't dare let his daughter see it now. I still remember the question he asked the cleaner: "I'm not afraid she'll see what I said. I'm afraid she'll ask that question, and I won't be able to answer clearly—Do you really think that way about my mother too? Do you really think that way about me too?" A person deletes their past self not because they deny it, but because they are too clear-headed. These eight stories are independent yet share the same worldview. These stories all take place within the system of "Yunqi Digital Memory Hosting Service Co., Ltd.", And each protagonist is a small employee within this vast organization—an organizer, notary, appraiser, trainer, liquidator, and cleaner. Their monthly salaries range from eight to ten thousand yuan, with five social insurances and one housing fund, overtime meal allowances, and the cafeteria auntie will scoop an extra spoonful of braised pork. They are the most ordinary workers in this digital age, but what they deal with every day is the heaviest secret between the living and the dead. If you read it, you'll find that Mr. Fu Shuiheng's storytelling has several particularly impressive aspects. First, each of his stories begins with an "emotional hook" that will keep you glued to the screen. "Never open that folder during work hours"—and then immediately follows a heart-stopping twist. He knows that in this era of short videos, if you can't grab the reader's attention in the first three hundred words, you're doomed, so each story begins like a precise hook, pulling you into that absurd yet tender world before you even have time to put down your phone. Second, he imbues the cold, hard concept of "data" with warmth. Our phones are filled with things we can't delete: chat logs, search history, photos, passwords, ebooks. We usually think of these as digital junk, but in Fu Shuiheng's writing, behind every piece of data stands a flesh-and-blood person. The hardware store owner's memos hide twenty years of guilt towards his wife; the investor's hash value holds an unspoken "I'm here"; the old teacher's search box contains over three thousand calls to his "son" that he dared not make; the architect's ebook annotations hold a letter his wife has been searching for a long time. After reading, you'll find yourself checking your own phone to see what you've saved, searched, and deleted over the years. Thirdly, Fu Shuiheng never makes moral judgments about the characters he creates. The tech director who made those vicious comments online didn't try to whitewash himself; he simply wrote about his fear and remorse ten years later. The old woman who hid her husband for eight years didn't glorify insurance fraud; he simply wrote about her sweaty palms on the bus and the "Wait for me" engraved on her tombstone. The son who blocked his father for five years didn't condemn his filial impiety; he simply wrote about how he cried uncontrollably in front of his browsing history. This writing style makes each character feel real, not just a two-dimensional figure, but someone you might encounter on the subway, in the market, or in an office building elevator. After all this, you probably already sense it—this series isn't the kind of fast-food story you can easily laugh off and forget. It's the kind of story that leaves you silent for a long time after reading one, then compelled to click on the next, then silent for a long time again, until finally, late one night, you suddenly pick up your phone and call your parents. It's the kind of story that makes you want to organize your phone, type things you wouldn't dare say in the search bar, and hug the people still alive around you. This series is now officially available on Tomato Bookstore. As one of the first readers to finish reading, I can confidently say that these eight stories are worth your time to read one by one. When searching, please note that our author, Mr. Fu Shuiheng's, account is "User 26182811." Make sure you're on the right page. Mr. Fu calls himself "Old Monkey King of Western Fujian," and his writing style is both humorous and profound, possessing the charm of an old-school storyteller. In this era of rampant short videos, writers like him are truly rare; cherish them if you encounter them. Finally, I sincerely thank you all for your time. I also hope that after reading, you'll leave comments to encourage Mr. Fu Shuiheng. Let our storyteller, Old Monkey King of Western Fujian, know that someone is seriously reading his work. Someone has been moved by his stories. Someone is waiting for him to continue writing. Some of you may have decided to go home after get off work today because of these stories, or dig out that book you bought a long time ago but haven't opened, or clean up those search records on your phone that you're afraid to show to others. After all, typing "I miss you" three thousand times in the search bar is not as effective as saying it once in person. By the way, I have some good news to share—our own author, Mr. Fu Shuiheng, said he'll be starting a series of unconventional comedies tomorrow! The old monkey from western Fujian is changing tracks; his absurd humor is being upgraded to unconventional humor—just imagine how exciting it will be! Read these eight stories first, save your tears and laughter, then grab a seat and wait for the old monkey's new work tomorrow. When you search for him on Tomato Bookstore, remember—"User 26182811," Fu Shuiheng, our own author. See you all on Tomato Bookstore! Let's all eagerly await the old monkey's unconventional comedies tomorrow—don't miss it!
