[Holy crap! Look what I found! Wen He released a new song! This is a godsend for all the night owls!]
The song is titled "Sin," but the thing is, releasing a new song at 5 AM feels a bit off. Isn't that a bit too eerie?
(Sin - A Durian)
[Oh no, I feel like this is going to be a real blow to us night owls. I've got my tissues ready. Hopefully, my intuition is wrong. I still prefer listening to upbeat and positive songs.]
[I have a feeling that Wen He is waiting for us with a big knife, but the video is only a little over a minute long, not too long. I want to wait and see what people who have listened to it have to say, but my hand just won't cooperate. It feels like a sin not to listen to a new song!]
Late at night, at 5:04 AM, Wen He's account posted a new video.
The video's visuals remain as simple as ever.
There was only a patch of sky, a crescent moon in view, and a few wispy clouds.
Although the release date of the new song is quite unusual, there are more and more young people staying up late these days.
Even at this time, a large number of people still clicked on the video.
The glass on the table is sloshing water.
"It knocked over my longing~ scattering it everywhere~"
"I, lost and alone, sit across the street—who am I thinking of?"
Wen He's voice was soft, gentle, light, and also melancholic...
Almost the moment he opened his mouth, he pulled everyone into a pitch-black night, feeling the gentle breeze passing by the roadside.
This feeling.
It is a cold loneliness, a bewildering uncertainty.
[Oh my god, it's their traditional skill again, starting with zero frames. This time it's even worse, they started singing before the background music even started.]
This sense of melancholy makes this a truly depressing song; I just hope I can hold on.
[It's confirmed, another depressing anthem. I was going to cry right away, but I've decided to go through the motions and listen to it first before crying.]
I listened to "Underwater" on repeat countless times, thinking that nothing could break my spirit anymore, but the beginning of the song still gave me a sudden pang.
I have a vague, very uneasy feeling...
People who hear this song are quickly immersed in its melody.
Those who had been repeatedly broken down by Wen He already had some idea of what was going on at the beginning of the song.
Wen He's sorrowful voice continued to sing...
"I'm covering my ears and retreating!"
I hid in the closet beforehand.
I often fall asleep to the sound of arguing.
As the song began, it felt as if something had suddenly struck everyone's heart, causing them to tremble violently.
They saw their childhood.
A childhood unlike that depicted in "Grandma's Bridge".
Instead, it was a broken childhood born into a family filled with arguments and physical abuse.
Young children simply cannot understand what their parents are arguing about.
All he knew was...
The parents' voices were frighteningly loud.
The parents' faces were contorted like those of wild beasts.
The parents were like crazed monsters, wantonly destroying everything in the house.
The child seemed to be used to this kind of scene.
When her parents started arguing, she covered her ears and backed away.
She had even anticipated what was going to happen next, so in order to protect herself, she hid in the closet in advance.
Ultimately, under this environment of fear and oppression, it gradually fell into a deep sleep.
[Some people's childhood can heal them for a lifetime, while others spend their whole lives healing from their childhood. This song made me deeply understand the meaning of this sentence...]
[Teachers, drivers, doctors—many professions in the world require exams, but the most important profession, "parenting," doesn't. This is utterly absurd.]
[Despite being a "child" with an incomplete worldview, they become "parents" on a whim.]
They have no idea how tragically a precious life will be ruined because of their so-called "whim."
I'm grateful to have loving parents, but this song resonated deeply with me, making me cry uncontrollably. Not for myself, but for those unfortunate children…
These three short sentences were enough to make all the listeners lose their composure.
They felt incredibly sorry for the child, but could only watch helplessly as he went through all of this.
The overwhelming sense of helplessness brought tears to the eyes of the audience, who felt a lump in their throats.
The song continues.
"A door that opened and closed again~"
He pushed me out.
"With tears in my eyes, I don't know who to turn to."
Wen He's voice sang the word "despair" deep into everyone's hearts.
The sense of unease they felt when they were abandoned by their parents is etched into their very bones.
The immense sorrow caused everyone to weep bitterly.
For a child, their parents are their everything, their entire world.
At this age, children lack the ability to think independently and have no money. They may have some friends, but they can only see them when they go to school.
The moment when a young child is pushed out the door by their parents...
He has been abandoned by the whole world.
I don't know where to go, who to look for, or what to do.
Fear, confusion, helplessness, despair, coldness, loneliness, dread...
Countless negative emotions were relentlessly accumulated on a child.
Why treat a child like this...? What did he do wrong? Why was he abandoned like this...?
Please... save him... he's so helpless... if you can't bring him love, why bring him into this world in the first place...?
I want to hug him so badly... I want to take him home so badly... I want to give him all my love... I just want to tell him... the world isn't so bad...
[I saw my childhood reflected in the film. It wasn't this bad, but it wasn't much better either. They said all the suffering was my fault, that I was a jinx.]
[Baby, don't listen to them! They are the ones causing harm! They brought you into this world but don't want to take responsibility; they are no different from demons! If they can't give you love, we will, even if it's just a little bit, but little by little, we will love you!]
Everyone resonated strongly with this, because everyone has a childhood.
Some people are lucky enough to be born into harmonious and happy families.
After hearing this song, they also saw another side of the world.
Unimaginable suffering overwhelmed them.
They don't understand, nor do they comprehend, why there are such parents in the world.
Some people are unfortunate enough to be born into families that are full of quarrels and fights.
They saw their own nightmarish childhood reflected in the images and felt a strong sense of empathy for it.
They recounted their past misfortunes.
This time, their world included many more people besides their parents...
There are many people like them, and many people who want to offer them warmth.
We gathered here thanks to Wen He's connections.
They huddle together for warmth and comfort, offering each other support and comfort.
The song continues to be sung...
