Most of life is plain, repetitive, boring, and trivial, as if every year is the same, with no sense of freshness or much change.
For example, farmers plant in spring and harvest in autumn every year, repeating this year after year; and similarly, public security organs conduct a major security crackdown and a major fire safety inspection before each year's end.
Specifically for Han Yu, during work hours, he either goes to the river with the Fire Brigade to inspect fire safety or studies and analyzes cases with colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Team. After work, he discusses with his parents-in-law and senior sister how to present gifts to elders for the New Year, how to celebrate this Spring Festival, and where to visit relatives on the first, second, third, and fourth days.
Every day is so busy, but it's all repetitive and mechanical trivial matters.
