"Dream- July 24th, 1998.
I was carrying a square paper box with open covers. In it was a four-legged snake. I was transferring the snake to an uninhabited place. There was a tree with some withered plants on it. I put the snake on the shady side of the tree trunk. It can get some sunlight here. Long Long's KFC jar was on the tree as well. I saw on other trees some dry yellow roses. I wanted to pick them but eventually gave up the idea. Some people were on the Truth Beach, mowing all the green grass and transporting it to another city."
"梦1998.7.24
我收拎着四方开盖的纸盒，里有一条四脚蛇。我要把它移一个位置，送它到另一个无人的地方。那儿有一棵树，树上有些植物已枯，我把它挂在背阴的树干上。这儿多少可以晒到太阳，树上还有龙龙的肯德基的罐子。我看到另一些树上有黄色的枯萎的黄色玫瑰，我想摘，又算了。有些人在正理海滩，把绿色的草都割去，并运往外地。"
