In Chinese traditional culture, people will enter a place called hell after death, but before that, the dead souls must pass the Naihe Bridge. Under the bridge, there is a wide and green river, Huangquan (Acheron). The two sides of the river are the hell and the underworld, and the intersection with the underworld, on both sides of the river, are full of coquettish beautiful blood-red flowers, manjusaka. The blood-red flowers of manjusaka and the flowers of death that exude a strange blue color are blooming in full swing with the performance of the symphony of human cruelty. The whale will go to the Acheron with its former group, and its life is controlled, and it will disappear quietly at some point, maybe in the near future...
