In 1992, Su Que, a Chinese girl who grew up in Chinatown, London,
A diary from 2026 was found in the attic of the home.
Hong Kong is about to return, and the lilies of Westminster will eventually wither.
John's song still floats in the sky over Liverpool,
This is all prophecy, this is tomorrow here.

She has memories from thirty years later,
Knowing that the pound is about to plummet,
He knows which band will become an overnight sensation, knows which wall in an East End gallery will sell for a sky-high price, and even knows that his youngest son in the Italian restaurant across the street will become a new Silicon Valley rich man in ten years.

When that British boy George wearing an Eton uniform,
When tilting the umbrella towards her wet drawing board.
When Zhong Yanshu, the son of a Chinese lawyer family,
When he said softly to her: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world",
She suddenly wished that time could go slower.
…
In the UK in 1992, the Conservative Party had just won the general election. The cloud of economic recession was still hanging over their heads. Peace negotiations in Northern Ireland were intermittently. Breaking news occasionally appeared at 7 o'clock in the evening; students protesting against the poll tax gathered in Trafalgar Square.
The girl was thinking about the things written in her diary. The Northern Ireland peace agreement would eventually be signed. The gray-haired politician who spoke on TV would step down in a few years and be written down in history as "the person who led the country out of recession."
"Who can say for sure about the future?" George stroked her drawing book, "But my family can give you a letter of recommendation for any school you want to go to."
Zhong Yanshu looked at her and spoke slowly: "Children in Chinatown don't need to rely on other people's names to shine."
It rained heavily that year,
Su Que stood on the steps of St. James's Park,
Her painting box contains the entire British sky in the 1990s.
