Lights for a Thousand Years

What he thought before he died was: In this life, he has never lived a single day of peace. When she opened her eyes again, she was lying in a luminous room, her body belonged to someone else, and the time was fourteen hundred years later. The world was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes. Wrapped in a coat that did not belong to her, she walked into a bluestone alley on a rainy night and was taken home by the cold man who lived next door. He didn't say much and gave her a cup of hot water and a dry towel. That was the first kindness she received after a thousand years. Later, she learned to use a mobile phone, take the subway, visit the supermarket, and learn to live alone in a strange city. She found her first job in a second-hand bookstore, her first friend in a pile of old papers, and her name in a restored fragment. Later, she learned one thing—— It turns out that coming here across the millennium was not for some grand mission. Just to meet someone and make a home in this prosperous age. A woman who came from the late Sui Dynasty, an architect living in the past. Two lonely souls see each other in the fireworks of the world.
