A Small Boat in the World

Yan Bo could see the cracks in people's hearts. The gray thread leaking out of the cracks entangles people with things that they can't let go of. Grandma Tea Soup's cupboard is missing a bowl every night; the old master has been guarding the ferry for twenty years and cannot leave three streets. People in the industry say: Obsession turns to ashes, don't touch anything that can't be sewn. He insisted on sewing. It wasn't until the night when the tide rose again and the city was about to fall that he understood the old saying of his master - The water does not stop and the canal is not blocked. Some build dams, others fill in cities. He built himself into that canal.
