"Oh! ⋯⋯ Nothing. As I spoke, talked, and thought about our conversation as usual, reality suddenly pounced on me...
Excerpt from Jean Coctor's play The Voice of Man
How did everyone have this weekend?
Nowadays, more and more young people have jointly opened a new and lively way of life.
Every weekday, bored waiting for work, the first thing to do when you go home is to open a variety of AI machines, Tmall elves, Xiao Ai classmates, lie down on the bed, look at the ceiling, open your mouth and exchange the experience of the day with the artificial intelligence.
On Friday, the afternoon of the last working day, holding the mobile phone, with the head against the desk, under the eyes of the boss, the fingers quickly pressed on the mobile phone, and a few words on Tinder and Momo, it was enough to match the partner who spent the weekend night together.
Everyone gradually found that a period of unwavering love became more and more dispensable, and even began to buy sex dolls, such as body pillows, and robot companions online.

Nowadays, the most "fashionable" concept of love has spawned a new phenomenon, in order to cope with the urging of parents, more and more young people to the opposite sex to sell themselves, temporarily as a "one-day lover" to visit and meet their parents.
Young people see love more and more lightly, and no one discusses it anymore, what is love?
What everyone cares about is, what can love bring to my life? Can I exchange it for Bitcoin? Can I have a successful career? Partnering to live a plain life is also a blessing, where is the time to love again?
However, it is often said that love spans time, age, race and gender, and when love knocks at the door, it takes courage to open up.
So, when we are used to the communication and noise in the intertwining of chips, will there still be a moving moment? Are you really sure that you are lying lazily in the sunshine of love, throwing yourself into it, and feeling the moment of "love"?
Will this be the trend of future love?
"Love", the heartwarming moment, should be as Jean Cocteau said, "Love is based on a brief spasm." If this spasm disappoints us, love dies. ”
If you feel strongly that love is flowing through you, you will surely drown in it, and it will be difficult to go ashore. Everyone in love, there will be sweet enough to forget themselves, so embarrassed to look down on themselves, but still will compromise for the sake of their lover.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a crazy move.
The classic example of madness for love is Jean Cocteau. He loves everyone around him deeply, he opens the gap of love even wider, and he truly loves his best friends and lovers.
Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
Because in Cocteau's mind, "the friendship between a man and a woman is delicate, still a kind of love." When Cocteau heard of the death of his best friend Piaf, he left only the last words to the world, "Today is my last day on earth", and never woke up again.

Cocteau put all his true feelings of love into his theatrical work "The Voice of Mankind".
In "The Voice of Mankind", everyone who feels hot about "love" always sees himself. Humble for the sake of loving others, begging, letting go of the self...

Love is not a calm, rapid thing, daily love can also be vigorous, in the quagmire of love is not wrong, those impulsive, unreasonable behavior, can be understood and resonated in "The Voice of Mankind".
From June 6 to June 16 this year, the Chinese version of "The Voice of Man" came, and we hope that the audience can first imagine holding a bowl of water and feeling how much the vibration of love will make that bowl of water fluctuate.
"The Voice of Man" was performed only 9 times this time to commemorate the excitement of drinking nectar in love, the pain of being swallowed by the fish, and seeing every change in his face in the moment of "love".
