Paperless

When human beings' last resistance is to let their fingertips touch the coolness of ink again; When the deepest scar of civilization is a sprouting IOU. In the seventh year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty, the female accountant wrote down "30% profit" in the account book of Qingmiao Loan, and on the seventh day of the writing, rice ears crystals appeared; In 1943, in a Shanghai alley, underground party members copied the codes on their arms, and undeciphered new secrets emerged from the scabs on the bodies; In New Hangzhou in 2077, when Shen Yan, the paper master No. 731, Was copying the "Memory Purification Regulations", the ink traces snaked into the baby teeth marks on the pillow on the night his sister disappeared... Handwriting around the world is undergoing a silent biological death - the writing is peeling off, the pages are collapsing, and the ashes are like snow. Only the "paper master" who has had part of his brain removed can write immortal ink. They do not understand words, but they are more loyal to them than anyone else; They are called disabled people, but they are the last living tombstones of civilization. This is not a story about saving memories. This is a critical experiment about whether people are worthy of being called "human" when memory must pay the price of death to survive. --Please unfold this page carefully.
