配合尺寸FITTING IN by 李欣颖Shin Li
It is the 22nd year of the gears spinning behind Li Xinying’s ears.
That sound — like the crisp, ceaseless tick-tock of an old pendulum clock — remains steady, near and far.
She hides among the youth of the 2020s, like a young screw caught in a nightmare. In her dream: threads blurring with time, and green patina quietly growing from the root of the nut.
Time rarely offers answers. We walk forward only to meet a solitary mirror.
“I don’t want this kind of life!”
A tiny screw screams as it falls off the conveyor belt.
At midnight, the factory sinks into darkness, leaving only the distant hum of the bellows under dim light.
“As long as I return before the workers arrive tomorrow.”
It murmurs to itself, rolling deeper into the shadows.
“Maybe this is all just a dream too?”
“Who takes my sleep, don’t take my dream.”
In engineering, fit tolerance is a cold and precise term.
Screws and nuts, gears and bearings — every pair of components must conform to strict dimensions to fit and function.
Humans are shaped the same way.
We are molded into compatible pieces under societal order, gradually becoming the perfect fit.
Like how the young struggle to understand the silent endurance of their parents — who once tried to run along the radius of life, only to circle back into calm submission.
But the youth dream heavier dreams.
Dreams not rooted in tangled resentment or distant snowy mountains — perhaps simply dreams to resist the ill-fitting self of today.
And perhaps, in that sense, there’s nothing wrong with having a beautiful dream.
After all, growing up sometimes means learning how to complain gracefully.
这是齿轮在李欣颖耳后转动的第22年。
那声音形容像老式座钟永不停歇的“咔哒咔哒”声，不远不近，清脆规律。
她躲在二十一世纪二十年代的青年洪流里,宛如一颗年轻的螺丝做上了噩梦。梦里有若干年后不再清晰的螺纹，以及从螺帽根部悄然生出的铜绿。
时间鲜少给出答案,走过了只立一面明镜。
“我不要这样的生活！”
一颗小螺丝尖叫着掉脱传送带，午夜时分，车间漆黑一团，只剩远处昏光下的风箱在嗡嗡作响。
“在明天工人起来上班前回来就好了。”它自我宽慰般嘟囔着，就这样骨碌骨碌地向黑暗深处滚去。
“也许，这也是一场梦呢？”/“who take my sleep,don’t take my dream”
在工程领域，“配合尺寸”是一个精准而冰冷的词。螺丝和螺母，齿轮和轴承，每一组零件，必须按照严格的尺寸配合，才能紧密契合，正常运转。
人也是这样被塑造的。
个体像是在社会秩序下被迫契合的零件，逐渐成为最合适的形状。
像年青人难理解父辈的缄默难言——他们也曾试图沿着圈的半径奔跑,最后沉稳地旋回生活中。
年青人在做更沉的梦，梦不在盘根错节的恨与妥协里, 也并不在风雪千山的远方；也许有些梦,仅用于抵抗眼前这颗不合螺帽的自己。
这样看来，做一场美梦也没什么不好的，权当长大了发发牢骚啦。
