But the actual situation is that Mandela did not actually die until 2013. This phenomenon of serious deviation between the collective memory of the public and the facts is called the "Mandela Effect".

In the end, they chose to commit suicide because they could not accept their current life. Police officer Barry Sutton was ordered to investigate the case and discovered that the people who appeared in the "second memory" actually existed. The truth was far beyond what science fiction theories such as simple time travel and grandfather paradox could explain.

"Periodic Table of Elements" is a collection of essays by Italian writer Primo Levi with a strong style. It has autobiographical elements, but also combines fables, imagination, and even history. By explaining the characteristics of twenty-one elements, the author narrates his own growth and life before and after World War II, and conducts a profound and moving inquiry into the hidden relationship between human morality and the material world. The two identities of chemist and Auschwitz survivor coexist so strongly in Levi. For Levi, chemistry was "a political school". The material world of chemistry presented him with many subtle ethical and moral metaphors, helping him face the various displacements he experienced as an Italian Jew during the fascist years. Levi used the inert gas "argon" as a metaphor for the separation between the Jewish community where he grew up and other ethnic groups in the Piedmont region; he used "mercury", an unstable and volatile gas, to refer to the Italian intellectuals who followed Hitler at the time; and the element "zinc", which is "inert and requires impurities to carry out chemical reactions", effectively satirized Hitler's absurd statement that "Jews are an impurity that must be removed". The stories of "cerium", "vanadium" and "gold" vaguely restore the painful memory of the author's experience as a "chemical engineer" in Auschwitz; and Levi's views on life are also fully revealed in the last chapter "Carbon". The author uses a super-historical perspective to restore the transmission and circulation of a carbon atom among all things in the world and the human body. Every reader is forced to face the same thinking as Levi: Since life is the accident and reorganization of matter, then must life be nothingness?

This kind of confusion runs through the youth of the author and everyone; he is tortured by pain and confusion, and he spends his life seeking love and avoiding love due to self-weariness. To be disqualified in the human world means to have lost the qualifications to be a human being.

"Cherry" June 13, 1948, heavy rain poured down. Dazai Osamu and female reader Yamazaki Furei committed suicide by throwing themselves into the Tamagawa River. Six days later, their bodies were found under the bridge, on his birthday. Since then, June 19th every year has been regarded as the anniversary of Dazai Osamu's death. On this day, fresh cherries are placed in front of Dazai Osamu's tomb to hold a "cherry memorial ceremony".
