Pseudo-Shuangcheng Mapping Records
If you are ordered not to move, you will be born in the southern country.
It's hard to move if it's deep, and it's more ambitious.
──〈Ode to Orange〉
I, Ruan Qiutong, a native of Frog City. Since the fall of the small town, I visited the people in the mountains, seas, and alleys of Frog City, collected various songs and stories from different places in the small town, and compiled them into a book of truth, so that everyone will not forget her story. Some people said that Frog City had already collapsed into ruins full of rubble and there was no way to save them. They asked me if I would go with them to the wonderful Hong Kong and live a happy life in paradise on earth. I declined, saying, "As long as the memory remains, it is possible that out of the ruins may grow hope that our children may one day sing the great Frogtown song again."
As long as the memory lasts,
It is possible to rise from the ruins.
