Experiencing death -- For 17 -- Suffocating city square -- A lone cigarette burns -- From the shattered pieces of a stone it begins -- Memory -- I will give my soul free rein -- That day -- Closing in and breaking through -- Standing in the curse of time -- For Su Bingxian -- Memories of a wooden plank -- June fourth, a tomb -- Beneath the gaze of the departed souls -- Fifteen years of darkness -- Remember the departed souls -- The white lillies in the dark night of June fourth -- The dead souls of Spring -- Child-mother-Spring -- June fourth in my body -- Daybreak -- A small rat in prison -- Greed's prisoner -- Longing to escape -- One letter is enough
