The Sound of Box Lock Cloud

This is a short story that combines Chinese romance and realistic introspection. It is derived from the lyrics "Yunshu Read Together" and the essay "Western Project Team". Shen Yan, who had been struggling with internal strife in the city for a long time, could not bear the shackles and grievances of the secular workplace and fled to Qingwu Mountain to escape the world. Here, he meets Su Jianwei, who can understand Yunhai's thoughts. Everyone in the world looked up and saw only white clouds. Only Su Jianwei could read the thoughts of thousands of people in the clouds, which had nowhere to express themselves. It was an invisible book in the clouds. Shen Yan took over the camphor wood box imprinted with jasmine patterns and was responsible for storing and protecting these cloud spirits that turned into shimmering light. One person interprets the Book of Heaven, and the other files and protects each other. The evening breeze, jasmine, and the sea of ​​clouds form a paradise where the two souls share the same frequency. The years in the mountains are gentle, but they are not eternal. They have to bear the mental wear and tear caused by the violent cloud spirits, endure the confusion and ridicule of the outside world, and also have to face the separation that will eventually come. When the ability to read clouds is exhausted and the wonderland comes to an end, the two of them stand at a fork in the road of fate, whether to stay in the mountains and cling to their dreams, or to return to the secular world with billowing fireworks. The story uses the secret realm of the sea of ​​clouds to reflect real life. The protagonist in the book has multiple shadows of ordinary people: Wukong's arrogance, Sha Monk's forbearance, Zhu Bajie's desire for ordinary stability, and Bai Longma's silent and burden-bearing persistence. It does not advocate a complete escape from reality, nor does it advise people to compromise blindly with the rules. The so-called perfection is never the "conferred god" with a unified template. After seeing through the injustice of the world and the warmth of human relationships, sticking to your heart and grasping the right to choose your own life is the best way back.
