Curator note

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and the more steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within us. — Immanuel Kant When Xu Le looked away from those words and truly saw the countless stars behind the dust for the first time, he wasn't awestruck. Instead, he was furious: "The stars outside the regional sky are so dazzling, who can stand it? Being blinded by these lights every day, I'm afraid I'll turn into one of those stray cats in the mine tunnels that's been driven mad by the headlights!" So Xu Le gave up his dream of becoming a noble female warship commander's assistant and began to fall, fall, fall under the influence of gravity, becoming a poor boy from out of town who worked as a doorman, a pitiful man who sold his body, a male nanny who did tedious work... In the turbulent era, he showed his white teeth, squinted and smiled foolishly, covered in inexplicable radiance, and stepped by step towards a distant place that no one knew. Xu Le, a citizen of Donglin District, left a desolate, semi-abandoned planet. He possessed some strange and unusual knowledge in his mind and had a power in his body that no one in this world had ever encountered. He was not confused, but rather absurdly content as he entered this most boring yet most interesting world. The life of a stranger must be very exciting.
