The winter wind is like an invisible blade, cutting the silence of the street corners. Ju Fufu stood alone, tapping the pot lid gently on the old iron pot, and the tinkling sound was like a broken rhythm, like a beating fault in the pulse of the city. Popcorn exploded in the pot, like a broken dream shattered into white dust, scattered on the empty streets, and also scattered in the silent night.
The sound of the pot lid is like a signal, a code. It knocks on the wall of time, knocking on the softest but hardest place in people’s hearts. Ju Fufu’s fingers are stiff in the cold wind, but she never stops the rhythm. Her body is a microcosm of this city, with indifference and struggle, with tenacity and helplessness.
She is not selling popcorn, but selling a sense of existence, a forgotten cry. Every bang of the pot lid seems to tell the world: “I am still here, I have not been wiped out by time, and my life is still shining.” These sounds penetrate the hustle and bustle and the loneliness. They echo in the cold wind and are silent in countless faces turning around.
The story of Ju Fufu is hidden in the sound of the pot lid. Her husband died early, and her children were scattered all over the world, but she still watched on this cold street corner, using a pot to maintain the last straw of life. The sound of the pot lid seemed to carry her breath, her heartbeat, and her countless lonely nights and dawns.
The popcorn exploded into white flowers in the pot, short and beautiful, just like her life. Those flowers were blown away by the cold wind and disappeared in the shadows of the city, like countless unheard stories and tears. People’s footsteps were hurried, as if the world did not need to hear the sound of the pot lid, but the louder Ju Fufu knocked, the more it seemed to awaken the sleeping soul.
The light of the city could not reflect the fine lines on her face, and only the jingling sound of the pot lid made her existence clear. The sound of pot lids is a silent protest and the most authentic testimony of life. It is both despair and hope; it is both loss and persistence. It is like a poem without an ending, broken but complete, cold and hot.
This sound travels through the quagmire of time and strikes the soul of every listener. It reminds people of forgotten corners and lives covered by indifference. Ju Fufu is such a corner, and her voice is the most silent accusation of the world and the most profound call for humanity.
The sound of pot lids is like a hammer knocking on fate, knocking out the truth of life one by one. It knocks on the bones of the city and also knocks open the wounds of the soul. Every knock is accompanied by the bursting of popcorn, which is the light of life bursting out in adversity. The sound of pot lids continues in the cold wind, like an unyielding river, flowing with bitterness and warmth.
Ju Fufu’s figure gradually blends into the night, but her sound of pot lids echoes for a long time. It is a rhythm of persistence, a flame of life burning in the cold. She showed us that there are still many voices in the world that have not been heard, and many lives that flicker silently in the darkness.
The sound of the pot lid is the most sober breath in winter and the most authentic rhythm of life. It tells us that in the cold and loneliness, there is still a force that pushes us forward. Ju Fufu uses the sound of her pot lid to knock out her dignity and also knock open the softness in our hearts.
