"Fermi for the Fighter" (为了战斗者)

Enrico Fermi famously suggested in what is now known as “The Fermi Paradox” that we really should’ve been visited by extraterrestrials by now. The general idea of it is this: where the hell is everybody? There’s so much out there and everything is so old that probability would suggest a visit or two ought have graced up. Well maybe, maybe not. There are three logical explanations (aside from the obvious ones that they already have visited, or that aliens don’t exist, and never have). The first is that they accidentally blew themselves up while learning to make weapons. Any advanced civilization will, at some point, figure out how to split an atom. Where and why they decide to split one though is totally up to them. The second is that their civilization already ran its course and eventually died off long before we were around to notice. Maybe they ruled the universe for millions of years...three billion years ago. The third option... they see us, they’ve been watching us, and it is only a matter of time before they strike. Let’s hope it’s not the third.

"Kingdom of Dust" (粉尘王国)

Everybody claims that they wanna move on. That they can’t wait until the day comes when they can leave rubber on the pavement and spit that that’s all they’re leaving behind in their dusty hometowns. No, I’ve never seen this land in my rearview mirror and I ain’t planning on seeing it from the other side until kingdom come. See, I’m the ruler of this little zip code and if you can think of one good reason I should give that up, then I’ll be breaking your jaw for having the gall to even think such blasphemous thoughts. Nobody plans to be this way. Nobody lulls themselves to sleep with dreams of stills winding up wooded hills and knuckles crusted over from the cold. It happens to you, maybe. You fight for it, maybe. In any case, it’s me and I’m here and this is just the way it’s gotta be.

"Sunny Day, Sudden Rain" (晴天, 骤雨)

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky. - Hāfiz

How long must you stare at the heavens before you start asking why the sky is blue during the day but red at sunset? In fact, this is the most common scientific question asked by children, “Why is the sky blue?”. The curious Irishman John Tyndall, a physicist from the 19th century is known for decoding the enigma of the blue sky... well partly. You see in the 1860s Tyndall started experimenting with light by shining beams through various gases and liquids. He soon realized that the varying color of the sky was the result of sunlight scattering around particles in the atmosphere. However, in 1910 Einstein settled the case by looking into the scattering of light by individual molecules. As it turns out blue light is scattered more than red light. So, in the end it seems the answer is not as simple as we had hoped for but maybe we never really needed an answer to begin with. Next time you look out the window, regardless of rain or shine, keep in mind that’s probably not the whole story. In Shanghai it’s always wise to carry an umbrella anyways, don’t believe me? Why don’t you step forward and see for yourself?

"Sanlunche" (三轮车)

As the Chengyu suggests, “a fur coat can be made of scraps” (集腋成裘). A man steering a sanlunche (tricycle) sees everything while constantly acclimatising to new surroundings. But don’t expect any deep and meaningful words from him. His wheels keep on turning. What about you? Would you rather see change approaching slowly in the distance or have a head-on collision with it in the moment? Maybe it doesn’t matter, we all read the signs differently. A simple fact of life is that change is inevitable and it continues to happen at a rapid rate in Shanghai. The city’s physical appearance is ever-evolving with an endless amount of buildings being erected to accommodate growth. But it’s not like that would impress William Shakespeare or anything. “No! Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change,” wrote the poet in 1609. “Thy pyramids built up with newer might. To me are nothing novel, nothing strange; They are but dressings of a former sight.” He’d have hated the Chinese character Chai (拆), meaning to demolish, then. When it gets painted on houses and tower blocks in the country today it means the buildings’ days are numbered. People have protested against these land seizures but for most, the generous payoff that comes with such an order far outweighs sentimental value. Old hats might say unsettling demolition jobs symbolise an erosion of cultural heritage and that new paths are being laid at the expense of the past. Suzhou creek riverbank has seen its fair share of change over the years. If the sanlunche could talk, it would tell a thousand stories. But take it with a pinch of salt, as it’s probably just a load of old rubbish.

"Red, Green, Blue, Fares" (红绿蓝车费)

I see a red taxi approaching and wave him down. The leather seat cracks as I hurriedly climb in. It’s a hot day, I’m thankful for the blast of cool air. Almost without warning the car comes to life, carefully yet expertly maneuvering the narrow streets of Tsim Sha Tsui. And not only are these streets narrow, they’re also packed with hurried pedestrians, rushing cyclists and motorists skillfully avoiding collisions, buses and trams speeding by in all directions, oh my! like Vivaldi’s Summer, it’s a beautiful chaotic blur. And in that blur my mind starts to wander, “how did I end up in Kowloon?”. The notion of predestination is quite interesting. I guess sometimes it’s easier to believe there’s a specific road for each of us. Trusting in our own freewill can seem like a burden. With no one right path, the possibilities are endless! Can you imagine no such thing as taking a wrong turn? My thoughts are suddenly interrupted by the taxi coming to a full stop. I pull my octopus card, pay my fare and step outside. Standing at the corner of Jordan road, I look right, then left, then right again and start walking.

"When The Flamingo Dreams" (当火烈鸟做梦时)

I got colors in my head, man, a lucid dream of dream addicts chasing the life of others. At the place where we are, there is no space to stretch and the time is too short to live. Isn’t that what you want? Just go, it’s mating time, I’ll wait. This time, the cage we live in seems infinite. I can’t get out. It’s autumn, your monochrome eyes are getting less and less bright, but wait, is what you are chasing not the one you could never live? I’ve got all the things you left behind, the great plan, the fallen heroes, and I’ve got her, somewhere here, where you’ve never searched. Keep moving, because we are reborn each and every minute. You have never been and you will never be, yet you seem the same to me. I got idea I want to tell you, but I never know if I’m left behind or I’ve already outrun the ones that forgot how to wake.
