City Cicada

"From the moment I was born, I've had the same dream every day, where the same day repeats itself endlessly."
"What did you do in your dream?"
"Robbed banks, blew up buildings, flirted with girls, joyrode in luxury cars... Since it was a dream, naturally, I did a lot of lawless things."
"Tell me about your dream last night."
"Yesterday was quite interesting. After dreaming for so long, it was the first time I dreamed about someone I know in real life. She was a very beautiful girl..."
"Mhm."
The police officer Uncle nodded as he took notes:
"Keep going, I'm listening."

Wei Shengjin took the initiative to introduce himself:


"I too came from Mars on the interstellar transit. My name is Wei Shengjin, and I am a university teacher on Mars... I must say, after hearing your story, Village Head, I am deeply moved; you are truly a person of kindness and compassion."


"I often read about noble figures like rural teachers and volunteer educators in ancient books. Previously, I had no real sense of it, nor could I appreciate how arduous and grand such actions are... But now, I deeply realize that you are such a person, willing to leave the blissful life on Mars to help the people on the backward Earth... I deeply admire you."


The Village Head Grandma smiled blandly:


"This is nothing great. Rather, it's that my abilities are not sufficient to support me in doing something truly grand, so I can only come to Earth, where the little knowledge I have can be put to some use."
