Boundary Monument—land Ethical Narrative

This is the story of an iron arm, seven pairs of chopsticks, thirteen chili seeds, and a heart that beats seven times per minute. Chang Ruili was replaced with an out-of-control iron arm, and her son Lin Changjin's right arm was petrified. He began to hear the voice of an ancient existence deep underground - it had been poisoned and painful for decades, and the first word he just learned to say was "Mom." Noah's formatting pulse wants to clear this land. Seven ordinary people standing on the scorched earth - Aunt Wang who makes hot sauce, the old carpenter who carves boundary stakes, Zhao Xiaohai who purifies the river, Uncle He who collects medicine, Widow Chen who keeps accounts, Old Liu who blows the whistle, and Grandpa Sun who grows seedlings - use their bodies as containers to catch the emptied memories. Lin Changjin planted himself into the ground and became a living boundary monument, standing on the boundary between man and earth. Zhang Desen knelt on the top of the tower, turned himself into a colorful point of light, and nailed it into the deepest crack in his heart. This is not a story about a hero saving the world. This is a story about "repaying debts" - the land remembers all the forgotten pain for people, and people use the way of paying debts to remember for the land how it is still alive. When the last formatting pulse fell from the sky, the dark golden lines on everyone's wrists lit up at the same time. The land will say: I remember. People will answer: I am there too.
