The ancient beacon, once lit for military alarm, resonates with the starry night of the present. Light will break through the darkness again, and even the opposite ends will reach balance and cycle, just like the two extremes of Taiji. The reason for pursuing the distant future is that there are new questions in every era, which demand the exploration of new answers. The beacon at night is solitary and quiet, a profound environment in which some questions will gradually become clear and reveal their clues, allowing me to experience a more long-standing view of history. We speak of “combining strength and gentleness”；though destruction triggers beauty, it is often “softness” that pushes things to a deeper level, enabling realization of one’s own ideological transition and change. On a quiet spring night, you might even hear the sound of the bamboo shoot joint forming — firm yet gentle.
