Story：Ji Dali Xing

　　"Ladies and gentlemen, the train is arriving at Dali Station. Passengers who disembark are requested to prepare in advance." The high-speed train announcement sounded, and I was listening to music - Cai Zhizhan's "Light Clouds". My mood fluctuated accordingly. This is the background music of Dali City in the game I played many years ago. The Dali City in the game, the marriage tree next to the city, and the daily tasks under the tree... still leave a deep impression to this day. Now, in reality, after years of social life's vicissitudes, I am about to arrive in Dali, where the wind, flowers, snow, and moon are blowing, and the Erhai moon shines on the snow of Cangshan.
