Features: I am living and aging smoothly. Now I know that when I was at the top of the Ferris wheel, I was already at the top. If I had jumped off the Ferris wheel, holding onto the khaki, at that time, how perfect I would have been—no point of aging. The words of youth are not always soaring; sometimes they are tired. The years of youth are not always sunny; sometimes it is cloudy without notice. Since the red brick house at No. 28 Ruyugu Road collapsed, I have never seen the little flying person again. I am sure he has left Ruyugu Road and will never come back, because even if he did, no one would be able to take him in. They would throw rotten eggs at him, hang him upside down in the trees for two days and three nights. He could fly, but only slowly, not even as fast as a little chicken jumping over the wall. He couldn’t escape at all. And I, too, had been permanently taken away from here by my parents. After that, they cut off my hair and locked me in a dark dungeon for a whole year, until finally I sadly told them, “I feel that the little flying person is already dead.” Only then did they let me out. At that time, the rain was heavy, the rice was abundant, I was hungry, and my little fingernail had also broken.
