I finally realized that the stamina of leaving Medog is greater than falling out of love.

The first time I learned about Medog was in Baby Annie's "Lotus"📖. This is also the hometown of Zhang Qiling. As the last county in China with access to roads🛣️, it is mysterious, pure, and a pure land transformed into the human world, which has always attracted me deeply. .

There is only one Medog in the world, but Medog owns the whole world.
