Abyss of the Sky

When the surface became a legend, humans lived in seclusion in the abyss for more than a hundred years. It is a story about depth and memory. It takes place in a vertical underground city - the "Abyss". There is no natural light here, the sky is a projection of the dome, and survival depends on a sophisticated and increasingly aging geothermal system. People are born and raised here, and gradually forget the feeling of the sun burning their skin. This is not a heroic expedition narrative, but an epic that is whispered collectively. The story follows ordinary people such as thermal technician Chen Mu and ecological recorder Lin Xiao. Their daily routine was to maintain pipelines, adjust pressure, and search for traces of life in the gaps between steel. Until one day, deep in the No. 7 Abyss, a plant that should not exist quietly sprouted. This faint greenery stirs up the dust that has been deposited for hundreds of years. Here, hope is not a glorious promise, but an undercurrent. It exists in the technician's muscle memory, in the starry sky myth told by the teacher, and in the child's persistent questioning of the "real sun". It explores where meaning will dwell when existence is thrown into the eternal dark night. The answer lies not in the grand rescue plan, but in the day-to-day maintenance of countless hands, in the observation logs that are not officially recognized, and in people's almost instinctive and stubborn pursuit of light. This is a work immersed in the people's view of history: history is made of choices, and every ordinary person who still chooses to record, repair, and ask questions in the dark has become part of the root system, silently changing the nature of the soil, waiting for the possibility of breaking the ground.
