"268 Tongren Lu" (铜仁路268号)
"268 Tongren Lu" by island6 Art Collective (Liu Dao)
// BLURB //
I find myself captivated by the activities of my neighbors. It’s a fascination that borders infatuation, I find myself eagerly awaiting the moments when they appear in my line of sight. There’s the grocery shop lady across the way, who always starts the day early at the crack of dawn ready to feed all sorts of folks. There’s the cook, a magician of the mouth, taking his daily smoking break outside. I’ve noticed he also finds amusement in the act of people-watching. And then there was the mysterious redheaded girl who lived directly opposite my window. She’s the one who fascinates me the most. She seemed to have no routine, no discernible purpose for leaving the apartment. Sometimes she would stand by the window, looking out at the city below. Other times she would pace back and forth, deep in thought. Her daily routine was a curious delight! I was lost in her mystery. In quantum mechanics, there’s the phenomenon of entanglement, where two particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle depends on the state of the other, even if they are separated by large distances. In other words, entanglement allows particles to communicate instantaneously with each other, without any apparent physical connection between them! 
You can call it love, or you can call it science. Either way, I’m completely smitten! While there is a distance between us, I’m content to simply observe and revel in the mysterious beauty of the world around me.
