Xindong County is so small that people on the street know the dog at the end of the street. Girls from the county town are so young that they want to marry men from the countryside.
You would say it is small, but when you look at it from a distance at night, you will see faint will-o'-the-wisps surrounding the county, like a living tomb, with its head hanging out in aggrieved manner, huddled in the night. As you get closer, you can occasionally hear the voice of someone calling. It seems that as soon as you agree, all the lights inside will turn on. The old man will take the child out for a walk, and the young children will scream and laugh and run on the street. Whose car chain fell off? One person pushed it while complaining, and the roaring minivan ran past, raising dust all over the sky. It doesn't look like there are few people at all.
