Commentary:
“When scissors fall into the city, they are stupid hermits. Although relatives and friends spread their tongues, the scenery is the most traumatic. The old and sick brocade government, the mountain is worthy of savages. The traffic is as light as leaves, but luckily not tired of being a member of the Qing Dynasty. Hong Shou is like Xuanjun, the elder brother of the Alliance, who has not seen them for more than 20 years, and is very happy to write a book again.”
