The overcast sky hung low, like a giant, gray, mournful face. In the slums of Paris, a dilapidated apartment building, like a rotten tooth, stood in the filthy streets. The stairwell was filled with the stench of decay and urine, and the walls were covered with distorted patterns scribbled by children with charcoal, like the cries of desperate souls.

The sun slanted westward, casting a diagonal light into the narrow alley, dyeing the nameless yellow flowers in the corner a golden hue. Li Sijiu, a native Beijinger, was pushing his electric scooter, ready to start his day's "battle."

"Hey, Sijiu, what's new today?" Aunt Wang from the grocery store poked her head out, still clutching a handful of sunflower seeds.

Old Man Li is sitting by the sea again.
