Features: They walk together from the spring of life into autumn, entangled in love, hatred, emotions, and memories. Chaotic fates make the key to love lost, while ugliness, greed, conspiracy, and sin are packaged into trendy goods and placed proudly in the window of life. This is a story of two women and two men. Love is a desire for something unattainable, believing it has been obtained, only to be disillusioned. Chaotic lives and ill-fated marriages make them fear the silent fate they are experiencing yet cannot perceive its existence. The tide of time does not wash away everything; in the end, their rise and fall, life and death, and transcendence or decay are condensed onto a high-tech production line. When sin crosses the boundary, everything becomes simple, like an out-of-control planet that shatters all the survival rules and laws of the solar system, crushing any planet it encounters into dust. An imperfect ending is also an ideal ending, it is the thunderous roar—whether an avalanche or an earthquake, whether a conspiracy is exposed or war ends—that levels everything unresolved. Amidst the ruins, let the survivors crawl out and rebuild their lives. This story happened yesterday. Life is still very easy to forget; when a smile just touches the lips, people forget the lingering tears at the corners of their eyes, forget the feeling of impending death, forget the history that once burned their souls. They think that as time passes, everything will be lost forever. I am writing this with the fear of being forgotten, recording what I feel. Because this story might also happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
