Li Fei's biggest dream when she was a child was to grow up quickly. At that time, Hong Kong had not yet returned to the motherland. Although the year 2000 seemed far away, the four modernizations would be realized by then. She was the youngest in the class and was known as "Little One", which made her want to see what she would look like and do when she grew up. Finally, in 2000, Li Fei discovered that a part of herself seemed to be lingering in the past. Her physical age began to increase at a faster rate than her psychological age. It felt like gravel slowly sliding down, but still retaining its residual warmth in her hands.
It reminds me of an old saying: Time is like quicksand between fingers.
