Xiao Zhan - Marie Claire interview
When he was a child, he didn't have much pocket money, so Xiao Zhan would go to the video store to rent CDs, or exchange CDs and tapes with his classmates. He can remember the prices clearly until now. He still has the CD player and Walkman he used back then in his home. Sometimes, he returns to wired headphones because they are convenient and easy to find. In the silence of night, he would occasionally think of objects that were gradually disappearing in the torrent of time. Being alone, with his heart flowing, is his comfortable state.

You guys.
I genuinely think this is one of, if not the, best short story I’ve ever written.
Please please go read it! I would take it as a personal favor ;)
To explain how bad this is if true, when payroll departments get laid off they generally get 3 to 6 months notice because of the immense amount of work required to outsource payroll smoothly without violating wage laws. You do NOT want payroll disappearing with no notice.
