The Voice of the Other End

During those years, hotels have replaced grocery stores, casinos have replaced ballparks, Macao locals seem to have a little bit of murmuring. I kept asking myself how many Macao people are left and how much of the real Macao has rotted away. The wheel of time seems to have no intention of stopping, everyone is secretly pulling, everyone is selfishly consuming this city.
However, the silent people under the shadow still do not have the courage to speak out, or rather, they do not have the ability to resist at all. In the smoke of the city, who is left to talk? Who is willing to stand up and speak out among the victims who are being buried alive? Who is waiting for answers?
