    I need to find a quiet time to watch it alone, maybe the early morning in late summer and early autumn is the best. The stories of taxi drivers interacting with passengers in five cities on the same night. In Los Angeles, the scout was overwhelmed by work, trying to convince a female driver to become a star to change her fate, but was rejected. Who is struggling on the so-called road to success? In New York, an old man from East Germany said he was no longer a clown, but he was a little confused after seeing off guests: should he turn left or right? In Paris, a blind female passenger has removed the "color" identity of a black driver, but the driver has not had time to adapt to treat passengers with an equal perspective. In Rome, taxis become confessional rooms, and priests are overwhelmed by unintentional demons. Helsinki, never thought there was someone tougher than you. It can be enlarged to refer to religion, race, society and life, or it can be ignored and just make the night soft because of a personal and human gossip. In fact, we are now so popular with shared taxi services. It should be good to shoot "Late Night Passenger" similar to "Late Night Cafeteria", but I'm afraid it will be too bad.

    Objectively speaking, this is the story of five "Reader" streams. The original sound is pretty good, but I listened to it all the way back from Shanghai in May, so I started playing as soon as I heard it... It's not bad to kill the priest. It's okay to want to be a mechanic. In fact, the story that Jin Xing told about giving the hands of a taxi driver who couldn't touch his lower body at midnight should be included. I also often take taxis in the middle of the night. It seems that I should talk to the driver more.
