Shenzhen Programmer Han Yi can't count how many times he has rejected his colleagues' "renewal" invitations.
Han Yi's work is similar to most programmers. He clocks in to work on time and occasionally works overtime, but most of the time, he can leave the company smoothly at 7:30. Some single colleagues would go to nearby bars to drink and continue chatting and relaxing, but Han Yi hardly attended everyone's party.
colleague was rejected and was not annoyed, "He is really capable, and he is really a resident. He asked him to play ten times, and it would be nice to have an appointment once."
The same is true on this day. At 8 o'clock, Han Yi pressed the shutdown button, turned around to the company's bathroom and changed into a silhouetted sweatshirt, grabbed the messy hair at the sink, and prepared to go to the next destination - Kaimai.
Just as he walked out of the company building, Han Yi unexpectedly saw a projection advertisement on the exterior wall of the opposite building, "When this advertisement appeared on this building at 8 o'clock in the evening, the building was completely empty. It's great that they went to live."
"What a coincidence, how could this advertisement guess what I am thinking now?" Han Yi said on the stage of Kaimai, "My colleagues would never think of me talking about Kaimai here. In their eyes, I am probably a robot with only fixed programs." Han Yi, who stood on the stage, looked exactly like two people in his daily work.
Here, he no longer remained silent, but instead shook out all kinds of burdens and joked with himself. He talked about the public's stereotype about programmers , teased the programmers' daily life, and wave after wave of detonation, and the audience cheered him.
"I will only be myself after 8 o'clock," Han Yi said on the stage.
Also working in Shanghai is HR Qu Ying who works in Shanghai.
Most of the impressions of Qu Ying by colleagues in the company are "shoulder-length curly hair", "spoken with gentle words", and "love to wear long skirts", but no one knows that there are strong muscle lines under Qu Ying's long skirt.
Qu Ying has been climbing rocks for 8 years and parkour for 4 years. Every night at 8 o'clock, Qu Ying would rush home after finishing work and redecorate her in front of the mirror. In the mirror, she tied her ponytail, wore a baseball cap, changed into a T-shirt and trousers that were easy to exercise, and ran in the alley in Shanghai.
"The narrow alley aisle is more convenient for parkour." Qu Ying said that with the help of the narrow terrain, she can use force left and right, climb up to the top floor, and then run, jump, and roll between the roof of the building.
The distance between buildings is more than two meters long and jumps as soon as you say it. The high building can jump down smoothly from 4 or 5 meters to the low building. Her movements are flowing, just like the light skills in movies and TV dramas.
In the field of parkour, which has both strength and skills, she is not inferior to boys, and she can do everything by flying around the eaves and walls, so many new parkour newcomers call her "Shen".
If there are stars, there will be no one who doesn’t love the colorful nightlife. 8 o'clock in the evening is a "time of God" for most young people. From this moment on, they start the moment of their own wonderful life every day.
But the special moment at this moment is definitely not exclusive to young people.
After getting home from get off work, Sun Yun went to the express box downstairs to pick up the express box. He unexpectedly found a projection advertisement on the express box: "This advertisement at 8 o'clock in the evening, I really envy you. I still have a whole night to unbox my life."
Sun Yun was a little surprised, "How did it know I was going to unbox a new toy?"
8 o'clock every night, which is also the "toy time" of Sun Yun's family in the 39-year-old Chengdu family.
Sun Yun, who works in logistics, is a deformed toy collector in private. In his 100-square-meter home, there are nearly 10 transparent glass cabinets specially designed for storing deformation toys.
Sun Yun's son was 5 years old. Under Sun Yun's "influence" of Sun Yun, he naturally became a "little transformed toy enthusiast".
At Sun Yun’s house, 8 o’clock in the evening is a special "date" for the whole family. "Every day after dinner, my wife and I will take time to accompany our children and play with transformed toys together. That is the exclusive time that only belongs to our family," said Sun Yun.
Once, the son suddenly picked up a lobster toy and threw himself into Sun Yun's arms and shouted, "Dad, save the crayfish." It turned out that in just a few minutes, the son had already "arranged" a story in his head that "the crayfish was caught, uncle Haixing and grandpa Crab could not save the crayfish, and needed the help of his parents."
This is also the most anticipated moment of Sun Yun every day. He likes to listen to the world imagined by his children, including Ultraman , Mecha warriors, sea monsters, and even a hero who will always come out to save his father and mother hero as soon as possible.
"I only feel this healing and relaxation after eight o'clock every day," Sun Yun said.
53-year-old Aunt Wang, who lives in Beijing, came to the dance square as scheduled at 8 pm.
As a "senior old drifter", Sichuan Aunt Wang has followed his son to Beijing to take care of his grandchildren for nearly 5 years. At the beginning, Aunt Wang was particularly uncomfortable with life in Beijing. "I ate differently, the climate was different, and my neighbors were all northern-style, which made me look particularly out of place."
During the day, my son and daughter-in-law went to work, and only my grandson who was learning to speak was with her. Aunt Wang was very lonely. Only after eight o'clock can Aunt Wang "hand over" her grandson back to her daughter-in-law who has got off work, go downstairs for a walk and have some breathing, and also have a video call with her husband who is staying in Sichuan to chat about family matters.
In the past year, Aunt Wang joined the square dance team near the community, and everything changed. The dance partners were about the same age as her, and many of them followed their children to Beijing to take care of their grandchildren. After a while, Aunt Wang gradually found her own social circle in the square.
Now, after 8 o'clock every night, it is the happiest time for Aunt Wang's "elderly sister group". "The son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law are basically back at this time, and we can also enjoy our own time."
is different from the past, and today a projection advertisement appeared in the square, "This advertisement at 8 o'clock in the evening, I want to tell you that no matter how old you are, long live a healthy nightlife."
Set the equipment and select the tracks. After eight o'clock, the melody in the square sounds as expected. Aunt Wang was also recommended by others to go to another community for square dance competition because she danced well and had a strong sense of rhythm. "My son is also very happy after hearing this. He thinks his mother is very powerful and can find his own world in another place at this age."
At 8 pm, at this junction between day and night, people leave work and return to their lives.
The busy work during the day and the dull and conservative faced with others, it disappeared after 8 o'clock in the evening. We can be ourselves and enjoy the world that belongs only to us.
As the junction of dusk and night, it is special since ancient times at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The nightfall after 8 pm gives Han Yi, who loves talk shows, a layer of "sense". People who are silent at work become expressers in life at this moment. No one knows that Qu Ying is "cool" and "hot-blooded" after 8 o'clock in the evening. "I think life and work should be distinguished, and work should be completed seriously, and enjoy life with all your heart. These two are not contrary to each other. Eight points can become a good dividing line."
Talk to your family about work after 8 pm, talk about what to eat tomorrow, and ask your children whether they are happy at school, so that Sun Yun realizes that a beautiful family environment can recharge individuals.
Aunt Wang, who is not good at complaining about the loneliness of "old woman" with her children, also found a way to eliminate this loneliness after 8 o'clock, which is to re-affirm her social circle.
