Like a shower, it is a rapid drum beat; like a whirlwind, it is a flying tassel

Reminds people of: Thousands of miles of thunder and thousands of miles of flash!
It reminds people of: the great enlightenment that becomes dark and clear, clear and dark, and finally becomes clear forever!

The harder you beat, the harder it gets! There are no secrets in my thoughts!
The harder you beat, the harder it gets! Pain and joy, life and dreams, escape and pursuit, are all intertwined in this dance and drumbeat! Spin! Gather! Bentu! radiation! Fly! sublimation! People became a vast expanse; sounds became a vast expanse...
When it stopped suddenly, the world was so strangely silent that people felt very unfamiliar with it.
It’s like being on another planet.
There was a distant rooster crow.
