A netizen published an article titled “Moaning In My Room” on National Taiwan University’s PTT StupidClown Board, in which he said he was returning home early one afternoon. Just as he approached the apartment corridor, he heard a woman and a man moaning. Doubts and questions swiftly flooded his mind: “My girlfriend told me she went to class. Was that a lie she used so she could take some guy home?” and “But there’s no sign of someone else’s or her shoe. Did she hide their shoes in order to cover things up?”
On the verge of bursting into tears, the netizen, after wrestling with himself in his mind for a while, decided to open the door of his room. He was dumbstruck to find that his laptop was playing his “special collection” while his cat was lying on the keyboard, watching his collection on the monitor. Because the laptop had a touch volume control, and the cat happened to sit on the “volume up” button, the sound was at its maximum.
“It was a relief, but I cannot help but wonder what my roommates were thinking.”

網友好不容易下定決心,強忍淚水打開房門,未料,他的筆電播著他的「收藏」,他家的貓趴在鍵盤上看螢幕,因電腦按鍵是觸碰式,貓的身體狠狠壓在「+」位置,讓聲音開到最大聲。
「雖然鬆了一口氣,但是不知道其他間的房客會怎麼想啊」。

When people talk about fast delivery or logistics, most assume these are modern inventions. However, the need to convey messages and ship goods efficiently existed in ancient China. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the governments implemented official systems to deliver orders and military information across long distances. Later, this system, known as yizhan, reached its peak during the Tang period and remained crucial to Chinese society for centuries. The main function of a yizhan was to deploy documents and personnel quickly across vast regions. Messengers would stop at these stations to change horses or rest. Sometimes,

Soldiers lined the walls. Reporters looked up, pens suspended above their notebooks. The judges shifted. Cameras clicked once, then stopped. Outside, the sun blazed over the barracks yard. Inside, it was winter. The words rebellion and death penalty hung in the air like a storm cloud about to break. But this moment had not begun here.
