She can hear voices which can’t be heard by anybody except her. It’s an imaginary world only for her. She usually sings old Chinese songs on the radio. However, she can’t get any thanks or reward from anyone, which annoys her. One stormy night, she makes her last speech with anger on the radio about a story which she believes to be true. The next morning she gives up waiting for presents and leaves her room ...
