"I once beheld a herder,Who shed his whip and donned a sheepskin.He forgot the whip, forgot the flock,Believing himself to be a sheep." In a layer of my consciousness, I entered a winding dream. Wind swept across the silent wilderness where a flock of sheep grazed quietly. The herder, who once held the whip, now lowered his head, learning to bleat. He had grown so adept that even his dreams began dreaming like sheep. He issued no more commands, drove no more onward. He said:"I am weary of con...

Long, long ago, there stood a city called Chiyuan. It was built by bare-handed craftsmen, farmers, miners, and weavers—hewn from blood and sweat. No one knew exactly how they overthrew the old dynasty, only that they had no guns, but fire in their hearts and the future on their backs. In time, Chiyuan was founded. They placed their most trusted among them upon a grand platform to govern the city. He was neither noble nor priest—a boy who had climbed up from the mine. He forged the people into...

Prologue: The Scars of an Era (202X - 2040) I am Lina. The night my blood seeped into the cold pavement of Berlin-Kreuzberg was a microcosm of Germany's prolonged tearing apart. The pangs of immigration, anxieties over welfare, and the confusion of identity lurked like ghosts beneath the veneer of post-reunification prosperity.
