In the Super Iron Curtain, Xue Dili looked up at the sky where the light screen continued its endless propaganda.
This was a terrifying place, where the lights in the sky broadcast the might and prosperity of the Super Iron Curtain 24 hours a day, filled entirely with glory, freedom, democracy, and loyalty.

What frightened him most was seeing a piece of propaganda openly advocating for the early ending of one's life after losing reproductive ability, to lessen the burden on the great Federation.
He saw two old ladies seemingly chatting, discussing which of their dozens of children had achieved success and what honors they had obtained, also mentioning that they had prepared dinner for everyone, so the children could eat as soon as they returned.
