Pickup Scale

Introduction to the work "Light Picking Scale" --- She returned to the amusement park that was about to disappear, not to say goodbye, but to "see" - to see how the "taken for granted" that had constituted her entire world came to its end step by step. At the age of twelve, she learned the "happiness of performance" on the wooden horse; at the age of eight, she realized the "truth of losing control" in the bumper car; at the age of sixteen, her "cool" persona was shattered by fear in the mirror maze; at the age of eighteen, she waited for an answer about "probability" at the highest point of the Ferris wheel. She took away four things: a piece of patent leather, a bit of rubber scraps, a broken lens, and a rusty gasket. Then she walked out empty-handed, but felt like she was holding onto everything. This is a novel about "how to reconcile with the past." There is no heartbreak, just a narration like a yellowed photo. It is suitable for all those who unconsciously reflect on the past late at night, feel alienated in the crowd, and long to find a clear map for the inner chaos. --- "All farewells are exercises in how to be the stewards of one's own relics."
