[Submission for Yaoqi Village] [Submission for China Academy of Art] Have you ever felt like this before? Like you're stuck, frozen in time, not sinking, but still exhausting yourself every day. An old short story drawn in 2021. It's hard to recreate how I felt then. There's no words because I didn't know what and how to say it. Lacking self-control, I could only draw this to comfort myself the best that I could. This is for our disjointed, disassociated, average lives. Dedicated to every ordinary person.
