Sober people taste pain, sad people are doomed to reincarnation

"Delusional Agent" is Jin Min's most poignant and direct satire.

He spent 24min × 13 pages to get rid of his inner ideals and society.

The pressure and indifference of the modern city have turned people into inhuman beings. Hypocrisy and cowardly evasion breeds demons, and they delusionally think of themselves as victims to shirk their responsibilities and seek liberation.

As long as he is attacked by the road demon, Lu Yueko does not need to continue to be oppressed by the deadline of work, Yuichi can not participate in the election of the children's council, and Choye can temporarily stop having a split personality.

At the same time, urbanites are looking for silly and cute dolls as solace in nothingness, making Ma Lumei a popular symbol.

But the gentleman seeks from himself, and the villain seeks from others.

Neither violence nor nipple music can solve the inner fear. The psychological haven is also a breeding ground for feeding monsters. The more you seek warmth from the cute and cute Ma Lumei, the more you will nourish cowardice and bow to the absurd reality. The idea that you can be saved by escaping is just an illusion. No matter how painful it is, you must face the reality and get through it.

"The reality of losing my home is my home."

And the old man who calculated the formula on the ground to deduce the prophecy is like the incarnation of Jin Min.

Different from the indifference and alienation of other urbanites in the play, he cares about the collective destiny of mankind like a prophet, but his care is really insignificant compared to the human beings themselves, and in the end, he is useless and harms himself.

In the end, although Lu Yuezi's road demon was eliminated, Ma Ting, who inherited the identity of the prophet, saw the birth of a new inner demon, and on the street, Ma Lumei was also replaced by a new teat music pop doll. The end is the beginning again, and human society will never sleep, never have a long memory.

Humans pick up the cornerstones and accumulate infinite bodies, repeating the cycle of joy and sorrow.

Jin Min's cognition of society is almost desperate, but he is still willing to be the hero who raises the torch.

"I had to walk the same path as martyrs and clowns

Everyone will put out the fire

I alone hold this fire high

I use this fire to spend the vast dark night of my life.”

Sober people taste pain, sad people are doomed to reincarnation.

"Goodbye everyone then" - Jin Min
