2013年的時候，我在某地旅遊。在商店裡看到一種瓶中蝦。一個圓形的小瓶，大概只有半罐可樂那麼大，瓶底是一些粉紅色的砂礫，只有米粒大小的兩只蝦在裡面遊來遊去。我在那以前從沒見過那麼小的蝦。蝦的身子是紅色的，輕晃瓶身，它們受到驚嚇，就會變成透明的，需要過很久才會恢復紅色。店家說，它們是剛出生，一般可以活六個月。它們不需要被投餵食物，瓶裡的水就是它們的特製營養液。於是我買下，帶回了家。把瓶子放在朝南的櫃子上。想起的時候就會湊過去看看。雖然我很少想起。
過了才一個月，蝦死了一只，小小的身軀懸浮在水裡，通體透明。後來乾脆消失不見了。那時候我不知道它是自動解體了，還是沉入砂礫，還是被同伴吃了。我想，這同伴，它應該也活不了多久了吧。
它每天在瓶子裡繞著瓶壁轉啊，轉啊，轉啊……不吃不喝，也不用排泄；沒有玩耍，也沒有工作；沒有生病，也談不上健康；不知道有沒有快樂和悲傷。就只是活著。在瓶子裡活著。
直到2018年秋天，它才迎來死亡，享年五歲。這壽命遠遠超過了我的預期。小小一只，漂浮在營養液裡，身子透明了，就像它五年前的同伴那樣。只有我知道，它在這個世界上活過。
隔了一小會再看它，它也從瓶子裡消失不見了。
這瓶子至今放在朝南的櫃子上。

萬古 (Wan Gu) Lyrics English
In 2013, I traveled in some place. See a bottle in the store. A circular vial, probably only half a cans can be so big, the bottom is some pink gravel, only two shrimps of rice grains are swimming inside. I have never seen so little shrimp before that. Shrimp’s body is red, shouting the bottle, they are scared, will become transparent, it takes a long time to recover red. The store said that they were born, usually can live for six months. They don’t need to be fed, the water in the bottle is their special nutrient. So I bought it, brought back home. Place the bottle on the south of the cabinet. If you think of it, you will take a look. Although I think of it.
After a month, the shrimp died, the small body was suspended in the water, and the fluid was transparent. Later, I didn’t see it. At that time, I didn’t know that it was automatically disintegrated, or I shed it into the gravel or I was eaten by my companion. I think this companion, it should haven’t lived.
It turns around the bottle in the bottle every day, turn, turn … don’t eat, don’t excrete it; no play, no work; no sick, I don’t talk about health; I don’t know if there is any happiness and sad. Just alive. Alive in the bottle.
Until 2018, it ushered in death and enjoyed five years old. This life far exceeds my expectations. A small little, floating in the nutrient solution, is transparent, just like a companion five years ago. Only I know that it lives in this world.
I will look at it again, it will also disappear from the bottle.
This bottle is now placed on the south of the South.
