The Great Migration of Ten Thousand Cities
The cities in this world can starve to death. Earth-breath constantly flows deep beneath the land. If a city stays in one place too long, the soil gradually withers. So humanity built homes, schools, hospitals, factories, and city walls atop mobile city platforms.

Everyone thought it could stay at least

Humanity Is Forgetting
Zhao Wenbo had spent twelve years researching mobile communications. One morning, he suddenly found he could no longer understand the technical documents he had written over the past seven years. It wasn't amnesia. It wasn't an illness. It wasn't a decline in intelligence. He recognized every word on the page, yet could no longer grasp the knowledge they conveyed.

At midnight every day, everyone will see a stranger's tomorrow. Eight minutes and seventeen seconds. For twelve years, there has been no exception. As a result, humans have learned to prevent accidents in advance, prevent crimes, track missing persons, and establish legal, financial, medical and social orders that revolve around "tomorrow's information".
