Features: A train of the Milky Way, sparkling with the light of the sky, rises from the ground. It carries a child, and also carries us, soaring into the boundless heavens without return. It flies past blazing celestial fires, across the riverbed of the Milky Way, illuminated by the brilliant light of diamonds, dew, and all beautiful things. You cannot see the two long tracks in front of it, nor do you know where it is heading. You simply let it carry you to a point in the vast universe. When the heavens arrive, many people get off. Oh, at that moment, you suddenly realize that what awaits us at the end of our lives is such a train flying across the Milky Way in the dark night. It will take us one by one to the sky, turning us into stars, so that we can live forever and forever gaze down upon the earth from the sky. Knowing that life will have such a magnificent ending, our hearts feel as if they have been touched by the divine hand carrying holy light, instantly releasing, calming, transcending, and purifying. Although there are still many days to be spent slowly before boarding this Milky Way train for the soul, and we will encounter many misfortunes, we are no longer afraid of anything. It continues to move forward, continuing its journey to search for what true happiness is.
