He Xuntian: Passing By the Earth, 1999 (Every single living human being who encountered the first ray of light of this new century will pass away this century) If I should make it to the final destination still clear-minded could you even guess that my intangible hand would still be strumming your lost lute If I should push open that sunlight-uncontaminated yet-to-be constructed city gate and still can find no place to rest do you think that your departed face could ever find my unborn pair of eyes
