Hold on, he has something to say
Qian ***
Qian ***
*** ***!
The person who smashed the TV due to the game is a ***
He's been in China for about a month now
age 28, vigorous and hot blooded
Enough!
Look at my fingers they *** bleeding
all because of this game!
I play 20 hours everyday
each hour smashing buttons 10 thousand times over
I've never spent so much for a game!
Now I finally know
nobody will never ever beat this *** game!
Go to hell you and your game!
Go to hell!! Go to hell!! Go to hell!!
The other person in the room is called Xianji Lee
He is gentle, refined and polite
would never act upon impulse
That is how he is after age 50
Lee was 25 at the time
he made a dirty spot
on the long history of the friendly Sino-Japanese relation
So, you've beaten me 7 times already
2 month, 7 times
3.5 times a month
0.8 times a week
0.12 times a day
0.005 times an hour...
That's enough, Japanese nagger
fighting Japanese invader
is our duty as citizens
But just us two in private
I really don't want to bully you
The thing is, I cannot control myself
I'm a sick person
Lee did not ***
The illness he has is called time-delay syndrome
It's symptom is to expand a short period of time
into an endless feeling
For instance that ***
only complained for 27 seconds
before he got beat up
But in Lee's eyes
every second stretches into eternality
as if it would never end
This hallucination directly affects the body
Lee feels dry and scorched
with a huge headache
and also very fuzzy
So distractions must be eliminated
Alright, power outage
Don't worry, it'll be fixed soon
Hold on to my phone first, use as a light
Thank you very much!
Not at all, you've been working hard you know
Yeah... yea you're right
Uh, you played the game for long already?
Yea, been playing for a while
Nice!
Your fingers looks pretty good
That's because I modified them into metal
——Your fingers? ——Yep!
When?
When I was selling a kidney
You sold a kidney? But why!
To bring you to China
You mean...
Me?
Today's guest of our show is called Xianji Lee
He is now trying to beat a game at all cost
he even sold his kidney
He endured unbearable pain for this game
So Lee, why are you so sure that
you can beat this game?
Perhaps it's a prank itself
nobody can actually beat it
As a matter of fact, to answer your question
I've never worried about it
Because I saw someone beat it
So what happens after you beat it?
A door will open up
Walk in and you will be able to go back to your past
so you can correct any mistake
Alright, it's quite a touching story
Okay so if you can time travel
what time period would you return to?
I only want to return to the time before I broke up with Qian
and then prevent some things from happening
But Lee you should know that
If all you want is just to get your girlfriend back
you don't need to sell your kidney and modify your body
all you have to do is talk to her
You are a homosexual right?
Actually you are a girl at heart
you really want to find a perfect macho man
and one day you finally find him
having spent all your life
you run to him and tell all your feelings to him
however he says
"But you must understand"
"real men need real girls"
I gave this example to show that
the reason why we broke up
is even more cruel than that
So
what sort of reason is it?
Alright, today's show will end here
Regarding this game
I think you will have to ask Japan's Daygo Umayhara for help
As the world's best electronic sports player
he must be helpful to you
Actually the only help he provided
is giving me a number
Number?

Okay, at 11:30 PM please
finish the shopping process at People's park
thank you again for using the pay-by-phone system
See you tonight
People's park
a place where the senior veterans practice swords
and the neighborhood grandmas practice dances
What a surprise
Qian and I
often stay there for a whole day doing nothing at all
glancing at the passing crowd
men
women
the healthy
the disabled
the young
and the old
Together we imagine these people's lives
and try to act them out
Qian has the time syndrome like me
To us the time of a day
seems as slow as couple months
So
the different lives we enacted
should add up to few hundred years all together
But Qian
can always make me gaze at her
like when I met her for the first time
So I thanked my illness many times
for it had given me the chance
to be with her, with century as the unit
After we broke up,
not long ago, People's park
was silently
razed to the ground in city planning
So the place the dealer girl had arranged for me over the phone
is a place that no longer exists
The first thing that came to my mind
is that I've fallen asleep in the taxi
before my very eyes is dreamland
When I climbed over the walls from the park's back gate
the stone's coldness passed onto my body through my palms
which made these seem more real
As I keep walking further into the park
familiar things appeared in the surrounding
Ahead, the green bench with almost all of its paints peeled off
Behind me, a small area of unnaturally dry grass under the tree
A pavement marked with children's footprints by the manhole cover,
These things that should have been disappeared
fiercely marked the lost times that can never be found again
I started to run
No matter what I do
I will not let myself get caught up in memories of places
and have tears trickling down
In order to make myself feel better
I started to pretend that I really ran into Qian here
