Hello Readers! Nice to see you all.

Before we begin, I want to tell you a thing. (As Echoes, the translator of this passage)

I am translating to bring attention to the author of this passage (Named Salion), who is currently facing unimaginable hardships and struggles. This passage reflects not just fiction but also the harsh reality he's experiencing. He is a dropout, unable to pursue higher education due to severe pressures and mental health challenges, potentially stemming from the ruthless demands of China's Gaokao (Universities Entrance Examination).

His family's treatment towards him has been nothing short of abusive, using him as a tool without regard for his mental and physical well-being. I strongly suspect he is suffering from PTSD due to these traumatic events. Currently, his situation is dire. Compounding his mental struggles, he (Author), like myself, is grappling with Glaucoma—a condition that threatens eventual blindness. The combination of declining physical health and worsening depression has left him unable to afford proper treatment for his psychological condition.

He turned to writing after leaving school, pouring his heart into over a million words over the past three years. Unfortunately, despite his dedication and passion, his work has not gained the recognition or financial support it deserves. In an attempt to assist, I've translated his Chinese work, "Half-Burnt Firework," into English (This Passage) with the hope of finding a new audience that resonates with his stories.

Your support could truly make a significant difference in this writer's life.
