{"product_id":"beijing-underground","title":"Beijing Underground","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne summer, four people were trapped in a bar in\u003cbr\u003eBeijing after falling asleep on a black couch, and\u003cbr\u003ethree of them knew very well that the only way to get\u003cbr\u003eout is to go to the \"Beijing Underground\". They\u003cbr\u003echatted and gossiped, gradually realizing that the\u003cbr\u003eTengu mask on the wall can help them out of their\u003cbr\u003epredicament. Finally, they left the bar carrying the\u003cbr\u003eTengu mask and walked down the street.\u003cbr\u003eOne day in Beijing, I passed out on a black leather\u003cbr\u003ecouch in the bar where we (Xueying and I) were\u003cbr\u003estaying, but I hadn't passed out before (so I'm not\u003cbr\u003esure I really did), except that the state I was in was\u003cbr\u003edistinctly different from sleep.\u003cbr\u003eWhen I managed to sit up from the deep couch, the\u003cbr\u003efirst thing I saw was a Tengu mask on the opposite\u003cbr\u003ewall, and I realized I hadn't seriously looked at it\u003cbr\u003efrom the front before, so I stared at it for about ten\u003cbr\u003eminutes, and at some point, I came to my senses.\u003cbr\u003eAnyway, the Tengu, the couch, the heat, the wind,\u003cbr\u003ethe cold, the bar, the subway, and all that sort of\u003cbr\u003ething are all translations or direct uses of the\u003cbr\u003eexperience of being in Beijing during that time.\u003cbr\u003eAt first, we only planned to stay in Beijing for a week,\u003cbr\u003ebut then we stayed for a long time. The people we\u003cbr\u003emet and the things that happened during that time\u003cbr\u003ewere very interesting!\u003cbr\u003eThen we went back to Guangzhou.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"51 Personae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52676484694292,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/7327\/4388\/files\/Screenshot2026-06-17at1.30.04PM.png?v=1781721010","url":"https:\/\/sheepcultcomics.shop\/products\/beijing-underground","provider":"SHEEP CULT COMICS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
