Shu Cai (Chen Shucai) 树才, b. 1965

慢慢的，一切都滑向另一切……
一个人也必将让位给另一个……

慢慢的。一切的
一切：空空如也！

Slowly, everything slips toward another everything . . .
and everyone will surely make way for another.

Slowly. The everything
of everything: is nothingness!

[From The Everything of Everything]

Begins:

Slowly. The everything of everything
in the drawers of memory

will find its own place.
After lightning ends, the sky is empty again.
