Once Upon a Time in the City

(1) Rush to the early stage

Hangover last night

It's all the troubles of life and the reality of that bullshit

At five o'clock in the morning, it was black and brightened by the fire

Take the first subway to catch the high-speed train to BJ

Severe sleepiness and hunger

Already overwhelmed by an unreal psychedelic feeling

My mind fantasizes about holding my new lover's hand

Standing on a pavilion with a distant mountain

The breeze blows through my crotch

A comfortable and exhilarating feeling of looking at the sunrise

Ah, I'm fucking alive again

Cross the No. 1 line, which is very small

Walk through Chang'an Avenue on Sunday

There are more and more bored people

The wind is good, the brigade is long

Swim through thousands of troops

Listen to the legend of a group of Peking University Tsinghua medical masters

Hurried into the infield

Damn, this wind is stronger than Inner Mongolia

The boasting of his grandfather is about to die

The frequency of exhalation has already soaked the mask

I put on a new mask and touched my freshly grown beard

Fuck it

It turns out that youth has begun to sow seeds and bear fruit in me

(2) Small gatherings

Many years ago, I reunited with a few roommates in Tianjin

At that time, there was no epidemic

I think it's really enough of his X's magical realism

Listening to Ah Ming, who is already a doctor of Peking University, talk about the white-hot volume in one day

Stability turned out to be the common goal that everyone is seeking

I said I thought you were all saving the world

Liang Zai Lei and the prodigal son Ann have settled in the local area

What is valuable is that the amount of alcohol in Inner Mongolia is still there

Liang Zilei is already proficient in baking and raising flowers

The prodigal son Ann said that if he hadn't graduated early, he would have been a loose school

Except for Xuebaming, the current situation of our gang of bastards is not able to finish their studies at all

The light snow just fell and it was a little cold as sticking into the neck

It's cloudy, and the three places go their separate ways

On the way home, I smoked a popping Marlboro

Youth is passing

Time is flying

The smell of smoke and laughter have already blended into the journey

(3) Rain

The summer rainy season in HHHT always comes so quickly and so quickly

The weather in this northwestern city is really different from other cities in Inner Mongolia

On such rainy days, people don't often wear umbrellas

It is common for young people to run at night on rainy days

It is common to see heavily armed riders hurrying away in the rain with handsome golden retrievers

Remembering the past

Six years ago

It's that time of year in the city

It rained heavily that day

I didn't bring an umbrella with me after class

Watching my classmates go home one by one

As a day student, I'm used to staying an extra hour after school

But that day, it rained incessantly in the dry city

An hour later, the rain didn't stop

I had to pack up my books and ride my electric bike home in the rain

The dim streetlights blur with the water droplets

I can't see anything with my glasses

There are few pedestrians on the road

I can only pray that no car will hit me

The half-hour journey turned out to be a long day

My whole body was soaked in rain

The hair sticks to the head like a mess of seaweed

I guess there must be a lot of people talking about it on the road

This idiot must be sick

But no matter how stupid you are, you can't help it

I'm soaking wet, and I'm going home

At that time, it was really a down-and-out picture

Every time I went back to that city

Whenever it rains, I want to get caught in the rain

Don't care what others think

A rain

Give a round of applause to those who are drenched in the rain

Give a round of applause to your classmates who are suffering together

Give a round of applause to the girl you like

Give a round of applause to friends who are no longer in touch

Give yourself a round of applause

The world is big

How many days and nights are alone

The marks engraved on the back of the paper by the nib

Maybe it's no longer clear

At the moment when too much burning had to be extinguished

In all the moments of childhood when magic is lost

My dear

Come with me to the rain

Even though I don't belong to that city anymore

Even though all I have left for my totem is that license plate prefix

My dear

Come with me to the rain
