Time is something that catches people off guard.
The year comes from the sea and comes ashore every New Year's Eve, which represents the passage of time. The arrival of the year is aimed at taking away lives. It is inevitable and there is no escape. As a human being who only knew the purpose of Nian, he chose to escape and began to actively respond with the help of the "wise" old man. ——Excerpted from Hyperion
However, time is unconscious and indifferent, unrelated to all feelings, and the same is true for years.
Kafka once said of fairy tales: "There is no bloodless fairy tale. Every fairy tale comes from the depths of blood and fear. This is what all fairy tales have in common." The beautiful and touching fairy tales we see are just beautiful but rotten fruits modified by others.
Time brings death. Anxiety about death takes time to overcome.
"Posting red couplets, setting off firecrackers, brightly lighting every house, keeping watch for the new year..."
Years have passed without a trace. Time remains unchanged.
Years.
Ten years.
New year.
The copywriting has nothing to do with the content. The introduction just introduces the identity of the protagonist.
