Quantum Embroidery and Plum Wine

Advertising designer Lin Shiyu was swept into Quantum County in the 1990s by a bronze square plate glowing with blue light during the evening rush hour of the subway. Time here is soaked in plum wine, the faded family planning slogans are barriers of time and space, old-fashioned looms weave memory fibers, and the ginkgo necklace left by grandma before she died is an anchor for observing parallel worlds. In this quantum reserve maintained by collective memory, the twenty-four trapped people are all artists whose names have been erased - the live-streaming girl Tang Tang has a black hole pupil hidden under her Hanfu, the upstart technological upstart Zhang Mingyuan has a perpetual motion gear engraved on his heart, and the pattern of the mysterious old woman's silver bracelet is actually the same as her grandma's embroidery stitch. Lin Shiyu used stardust as a needle and regret as a thread to stab out the four ultimate needles in the rusty bronze temple of the interstellar world—— The first stitch sews up the black hole, the second stitch deconstructs eternity, and the third stitch re-knits the morning light. When the final stitch falls, all the faded advertising plans light up into constellations in the night sky, and answers longer than light years emerge from the plum wine.
