One summer, four people were trapped in a bar in
Beijing after falling asleep on a black couch, and
three of them knew very well that the only way to get
out is to go to the "Beijing Underground". They
chatted and gossiped, gradually realizing that the
Tengu mask on the wall can help them out of their
predicament. Finally, they left the bar carrying the
Tengu mask and walked down the street.
One day in Beijing, I passed out on a black leather
couch in the bar where we (Xueying and I) were
staying, but I hadn't passed out before (so I'm not
sure I really did), except that the state I was in was
distinctly different from sleep.
When I managed to sit up from the deep couch, the
first thing I saw was a Tengu mask on the opposite
wall, and I realized I hadn't seriously looked at it
from the front before, so I stared at it for about ten
minutes, and at some point, I came to my senses.
Anyway, the Tengu, the couch, the heat, the wind,
the cold, the bar, the subway, and all that sort of
thing are all translations or direct uses of the
experience of being in Beijing during that time.
At first, we only planned to stay in Beijing for a week,
but then we stayed for a long time. The people we
met and the things that happened during that time
were very interesting!
Then we went back to Guangzhou.
