Goodbye, Sophis 1

In 1492, the Queen of Spain, with her keen insight, recognized the heroism of the great navigator Columbus, who finally led his valiant men on the path of their dreams. After crossing the far western part of the Atlantic Ocean, they envisioned conquering the "ends of the earth" and reaching the legendary ancient civilization of the East

In that grand and passionate era, "Let’s go to the sea!" and "To the sea!" were once spirited vows or shouts. However, Shanghai is not like that; "That man was Shanghai-ed—" When adventurers endured numerous hardships and trials to finally arrive at this Eastern paradise, they branded this tranquil land with a label that, aside from being interpreted as an ancient Chinese port city, also carries another meaning: Shanghai is not like that; "That man was Shanghai-ed—" When adventurers endured numerous hardships and trials to finally arrive at this Eastern paradise, they branded this tranquil land with a label that, aside from being interpreted as an ancient Chinese port city, also carries another meaning:

"Get the ignorant man in the image drunk, take him out to sea, and coerce him into becoming a sailor"

Many years later, the stories of the old adventurers were gradually scattered by the passage of time

Shanghai has evolved into a vast international metropolis

And the new adventurers, filled with excitement, arrive one by one, seeking their beautiful dreams here

From the Oriental Pearl Tower, overlooking the brilliantly illuminated night of Shanghai, have you noticed how many tormented souls are hidden beneath the dazzling lights?

How many beautiful dreams are shattered here, how many wishes are left unfulfilled, how much unwillingness and despair.

People who have lost themselves walk expressionlessly, shoulder to shoulder, on this vast deck; even though they are mere inches apart, their hearts are worlds apart.

Shanghai, the Babylon of the East in the new century, the place where the Tower of Babel has collapsed. Here, the awakened have yet to awaken, while the lost have already lost their way. It is important to know that "the land beneath your feet is called Shanghai"
