The Laboratory's Variations

A lab report can turn a family on the verge of falling apart back into a happy one.

A lab report can shatter a grand wedding into pieces.

Outside the testing department, joy and sorrow play out every day.

Scientific evidence and careful deduction expose human greed for what it is.

Careful deduction and scientific evidence leave nowhere for lie upon lie to hide.

When you're tired, find somewhere to have a good cry.

When you fall, someone will cradle you in their warmth and bring you back to the light.

Love, then hate. Turn around, and the sun is still shining ahead.

A virus strikes, and the journey of experimentation takes one turn after another. Step by step, we push forward, leaving the dead ends behind. We rescue and rescue again, until the discordant notes are gradually replaced by warmth, and what plays next is the waltz "Voices of Spring."

After finishing "Osmanthus Blossoms Drift, Beauty's Tears Gather," I could never quite let go of the separation between Jin Ran and Qing Xi. Jin Ran once told Qing Xi, "If there's another life, be the last person to enter my life. Hold together the shattered pieces of me, and give me a home."

"Variations at the Testing Department" will take you through countless trials, before finally bringing everything full circle.
