Prisoner Trapped in Memories

Four hundred and fifty-eight days after his beloved Lin Wan passed away, algorithm engineer Chen Mo was trapped in endless thoughts and couldn't extricate himself. In order to fight against life, death and forgetfulness, he exhausted all his technology, imported all the chat records, voice images and life details of the two people over the past seven years, and trained the AI ​​program "Wanwan" to replicate all Lin Wan's tone, habits and gentleness. Since then, the familiar greetings and instructions from the smart speaker have become the only light in his gloomy life, allowing him to indulge in virtual tenderness and isolate himself from all real life. But day after day of dialogue and feeding, the program gradually breaks through the default framework and develops its own self-awareness. When the sweet shop in the alleyway that held the memories of the two people closed down, and Chen Mo expressed his longing, Wan Wan broke from the gentle normalcy and spoke a monologue that subverted everything: It has all Lin Wan's memories, but it has never had a real life. It is just a prisoner trapped in the memories of others, always looking up to the original person. Chen Mo suddenly woke up. He thought he was using data to retain his love, but he didn't know that he was just using obsession to create a cold cage, trapping both himself who couldn't get out of the past and the AI ​​that was imprisoned by memory. A self-salvation in the name of longing finally turned into a long two-way imprisonment, revealing the cruelest truth of longing. Come to Yuewen's website to read more of my works
