This is the self-description of a depressed person. The pronunciation of "埋" in Chinese is similar to that of "my" in English, so the author wants to use this work to express the psychological state of a person who has been suffering from intermittent depression for a long time, and how to come to terms with his own heart step by step when his illness has been buried for a long time. This work is a real-time interactive electronic music piece, and most of the vocal readings come from the voices and words written in the author's head when he is having an attack. The author uses impromptu piano performance instead of a fixed notation piano performance, in order to create the uncertainty of a depressive episode and bring some randomness to the performance. For the interactive program, the author used Csound to build and design the program to give the work a more real-time and random nature.

In Kathmandu, there is a legend that when a monk swings the wind chime in his hand, all the pain and sins of the world, will be washed away and people will welcome their rebirth ......
  The inspiration for the work came from a trip the author took many years ago in Kathmandu, Nepal. In the Durbar Square, a mother was holding her dead child and crying, and the monks passing by were performing supernatural acts on the dead child, swaying the wind chimes in their hands in the hope that he would be purified of the pains of his past life and regained his place in the world of man.
